IBM i call (Call) Command

To invoke a script, the member name is required and can be *FILE:

Specifying *FILE invokes the normal default IBM i file search order.

To invoke a script included as an inline file in a database job, the call must specify *FIRST as the database member name.

The following example illustrates both:

• Invocation of an inline script, CALLME, using the STRUDM command from a database job.
• Invocation of an inline script, CALL1, using the CALL command from a database job.
