RUN
<name> <(arguments)> ;
The RUN statement executes a user-defined module or invokes PROC IML’s built-in subroutines.
The arguments to the RUN statement are as follows:
is the name of a user-defined module or a built-in subroutine.
are arguments to the subroutine. Arguments can be both local and global.
The resolution order for the RUN statement is
a user-defined module
a built-in function or subroutine
This resolution is important when you have defined a module that has the same name as a built-in subroutine.
If a RUN statement cannot be resolved at resolution time, a warning appears. If the RUN statement is still unresolved when executed and a storage library is open at the time, an attempt is made to load a module from that storage. If no module is found, an error message is generated.
If you do not supply a module name, the RUN statement tries to run the module named MAIN.
The following example defines and runs a module:
start MySum(y, x); y = sum(x); finish; run MySum(y, 1:5); print y;
See Chapter 6 and the CALL statement for further details.
