For more information about the EXEC language element, see EXEC Block or Statement . Data initialization file. See the configuration chapter in Net. Data does not locate the program, it searches the directories defined by the system. If it locates the executable program, Net.
Data runs the program.
Data runs the executable program when it encounters a executable variable reference in a Net. For example, the program testProg is executed when a executable variable reference is made to the variable runit in a Net. A simple method is to reference an executable variable from another variable definition. Example 2 demonstrates this method. The variable date is defined as an executable variable and dateRpt is then defined as a variable reference, that contains the executable variable.
