This command is used to execute a Natural object module of type program. The object module must have been cataloged (that is, stored in object form) in the Natural system file or linked to the Natural nucleus. The execution of an object module does not affect the source code currently in the editor work area.

If the program is stored in another library, specify the library-id of that library. In this case, the program can only be executed if it is actually stored in the specified library. A library-id that begins with
