`RUN` | If `program name` is not specified, Natural will compile and execute the program or dialog currently residing in the work area.
`REPEAT` | `REPEAT` defines that if the program or dialog being executed produces multiple screen output, the screens are to be output one after another without intervening prompting messages. When the program or dialog terminates, Natural will enter command mode.
`program-name` | The name of the program or dialog to be run. If `program-name` is specified without a library ID, Natural will read the source program or dialog into the source work area, compile, and execute the specified program or dialog only if it is stored under the current library ID. If it is not stored under the current library ID, an error message will be issued.
`library-id` | The library in which the program or dialog to be run is contained. If both `program-name` and `library-id` are specified, Natural will retrieve, compile, and execute the specified program or dialog only if it is stored under the library ID specified. If it is not stored under the current library ID, an error message will be issued. The setting for `library-id` must not begin with `SYS` (except `SYSTEM`).
