Answer 1

You are on the right track. You can use contants as you did and you can use variables. The values of the variables can be taken from any source. N.b.: you can omit Concatenate and simply use &. (Note the spaces before and after.) E.g.:

Dim s1 as String, s2 as String, sCommand as String

s1 = Inputbox ("Enter schema name")
s2 = Inputbox ("Enter procedure name")
sCommand = "Call " & s1 & "." & s2 & "('INPUT_DATE','EXIT_DATE',STATUS)"

Or you can take values from Excel or Word:

Dim s1 as String, s2 as String, sCommand as String

s1 = Cells(1, 1)       ' schema name
s2 = Cells(2, 1)       ' procedure name
sCommand = "Call " & s1 & "." & s2 & "('INPUT_DATE','EXIT_DATE',STATUS)"

EDIT: To generate a list of commands as you need:

Dim dFrom As Date, dTo As Date, d As Date
Dim iStep As Long           ' day
Dim i As Long

dFrom = "2017-01-01"
dTo =  "2017-06-30"
iStep = 10              ' days
i = 1                   ' start in column A

For d = dFrom To dTo Step iStep
     sCommand = "Call " & s1 & "." & s2 & "(" & _
           Format(d, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "," & _
           Format(d + iStep - 1, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ",STATUS)"
     Cells(1, i).value = sCommand
     i = i + 1
Next

You can omit using sCommand and write the string directly to the cell, yet this way you can debug it easier.
