Syntax

CALL-NAME [ = char-expression ]

char-expression

A CHARACTER expression indicating the name of the procedure, user-defined function, or attribute. The default is the Unknown value (?).

If char-expression is a procedure, the rules for finding the procedure are the same as those of the RUN statement, including the treatment of SUPER. However, the actual instance of the file, procedure name, or attribute is not determined until the dynamic invoke is executed.

If char-expression is a user-defined function, an attribute, or a method, the rules for finding the function or attribute are the same as those for finding a function or attribute invoked statically.
