Dan,

That makes sense. Something was nagging me from the back of the brain; I
think that I was getting confused between the CALL and SUBR statements.

I often used the SUBR function within UniBasic as it can be interchanged
with FUNCTION definitions etc; which enables a write-once, use everywhere
approach (within UniBasic, derived fields, and in SB+ via some small wrapper
code).

It took me a while to find it - in the UniVerse Basic Reference manual, the
use of SUBR does not require a catalog if the called routine is in the same
object file as the calling routine.

Interestingly enough, this is also implied in the SUBROUTINE documentation.
