Chirag,
Just write -MRNOEDIT and then include your procedure. Ensure that the procedure you are calling, is there in one of the App path folders.

MRNOEDIT just turns off the DialogueManager's parsing of the code referenced in the following statement. It's commonly used as: 
MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE ...


You can also just add a -INCLUDE into the MRE procedure at the desired point. The name of the included object must be fully qualified if you want to reach outside of the current MRE Domain (unless there are earlier APP pathing statements to include the desired folder, then you just need the name of the flle itself):
  
-INCLUDE C:\ibi\apps\<apps-directory>\<fex-name>.fex


You could even INCLUDE code located outside of 'ibi' or on a different drive.
I'm not sure about the inclusion of ".fex", that has changed over the years, but experimentation will indicate if your installed release needs it or not.

The entire content of the INCLUDEd file will be "copy-n-paste'ed into the MRE text then parsed as if it were written right there originally.

This is a powerfull technique to build large complex procedures from pieces that are previouly developed and tested.

Use MRNOEDIT ... doing the direct -INCLUDE in MR means that MR is processing the -INCLUDE. What if the server fex you are calling has another -INCLUDE added later which does not use absolute path? It will work on the server ... but not in MRE. What if permissions change? What if you seperate the client machine from the server machine? If the fex is ONLY ever suppose to work from MR, then -include is fine --- or just move the fex into MR.

This is exactly why we have MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE

The trouble with MRNOEDIT is when you execute the proc on the server it does not like the syntax.

To get a method that works in MRE and Applications.

In EDASPROF.PRF

-SET &&INCLUDE = '-INCLUDE' ;

Then in your code

&&INCLUDE.EVAL nameofinclude.FEX

&&INCLUDE.EVAL nameofinclude.STY

etc

Works a treat!
