Specifying procedure containers

The procedure container is named in the FROM-FILE operand. Only a BS2000 file or a library element can be specified as a procedure container. Procedures that are to be called in the background cannot be transferred in list variables, since the variable would be known only in the calling procedure and not in the executing procedure.

If the procedure is stored in a file under a foreign user ID, it must be cataloged as being shareably executable, otherwise, it cannot be accessed.

If the procedure file is protected by a password, this password must be specified in the PROCEDURE-PASSWORD operand or in an ADD-PASSWORD command.
