Do you mean procedures/shell scripts in general or are you
specifically seeking out UNIX shell scripting?

The most realistic choices, as far as DCL procedures and UNIX
shell scripts go: Native DCL (Digital Command Language) to VMS,
which are --- as you may or may not know --- commonly saved with
the .COM file extension.  Whereas UNIX shell, like the Bourne
Again Shell (bash) as provided with GNV?  I would personally go
for the native approach, thus with DCL.

Executing a DCL script is done with the usual syntax, e.g.:

    $ @my_procedure.COM


For GNV, read the release notes of the specific release of
the GNV kit.  (They should be provided as PCSI installation
kits.)  For DCL, look up the DCL dictionary and other manuals
and types of documentation at HP, OpenVMS.org (many examples)
and so forth.
