Diane,

I have seen this in an example (which I can no longer find) dealing with the
CEE APIs. I suspect that the syntax is perhaps optional but gives a clue
that you are calling a system function or API. I do have an example of this
that I am using:

  Initialize FC
  Call Procedure "CEELOCT" Using
     WS-LILIAN WS-LILIAN-SECS WS-SYSDATE FC
  End-Call

  Initialize FC
  Move "10151998" To WS-DATEIN
  Move "MMDDYYYY"  To WS-FORMAT
  Call Procedure "CEEDAYS" Using
     WS-DATEIN WS-FORMAT WS-LILIAN FC
  End-Call

I was reading some code and I came across this line in the
Initialization Module of the Procedure Division.
CALL PROCEDURE         'CHKAPPAUT'
 USING WS-APP.

I never heard of Call Procedure. What is it?

A good landing is one you can walk away from,
A great landing is one where you can rent the plane afterwards.
