No, I don’t think you can call it from proc directly. You would have to run it. You probably need a wrapper program that would call your subroutine—unless jBase lets you run subroutines now. Last time I used jBase (quite a while ago) IIRC it didn’t allow you to CALL a program, or to EXECUTE a subroutine. A wrapper program can use SYSTEM(27) to determine if it is running from a proc and use PROCREAD to get the parameter from the input buffer, or SENTENCE() to get it from the command line (proc primary output buffer).
