That is SOURCE = "*SOME.PROGRAM" ... CALL @SOURCE(INPUTS) Is there some advantage to the use of indirect calls that a system would be written entirely in this fashion? _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
