Calling S/36 OCL procedures from api SYSTEM or QCMDEXC

I have a client that runs most of their applications in the S/36
environment.



This means that on their regular manus each menu item runs a OCL/36 script.



They also have more and more funktions that are in IBM i native functions.



I am now trying to install a dynamic menu system that uses either
(selectable) the "system" or "qcmdexc" API-s to call functions based on menu
settings.



This works fine for calling programs or using system commands. However it
does not work at all for calling the S/36 OCL scripts.



Does anyone know of a work around?



Both "system" and "qcmdexc" api-s assume that the name of the OCL/36 script
is a command object. Unfortunately.
