RE: Call or Bound Call

This is the way I would do it.

The C/L below creates a copy of the program in QTEMP and overrides the file
to the right member. As long as you don't set on LR the program (and the
file) will stay open and only the members that you need get opened. 

              PGM        PARM(&MEMBER)                                  
              DCL        VAR(&MEMBER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)               
              CHKOBJ     OBJ(QTEMP/&MEMBER) OBJTYPE(*PGM)               
              MONMSG     MSGID(CPF9801) EXEC(DO)                        
              CRTDUPOBJ  OBJ(MYPROG) FROMLIB(MYLIB) OBJTYPE(*PGM)
TOLIB(QTEMP) NEWOBJ(&MEMBER)                 
              ENDDO                                                     
              OVRDBF     FILE(MYFILE) MBR(&MEMBER)                      
              CALL       PGM(QTEMP/&MEMBER)                             
              ENDPGM
