SCL CALL Routines

Like functions, CALL routines perform actions, based on the values of arguments that are supplied with the routine name. However, unlike functions, CALL routines do not return values. Many halt the program if the call is unsuccessful. Use CALL routines to implement features that do not require return codes.

SCL has a variety of CALL routines of its own. It also supports all of the CALL routines that are provided by the base SAS language.
