Id like to execute a specific function instead of CODEUNIT.RUN. Is this possible?

    As I understand I probably want to be able to call a function on a codeunit defined at a run time, CODEUNIT.RUN(number_coming_from_some_setup_table), without declaring the actual codeunit as a variable?)

    In NAV 2016+ you can get similar functionality using events. In calling code define publisher function, and call that function (instead of CODEUNIT.RUN), and in called codeunit define a subscriber subscribing to the publisher function in calling codeunit.

    You would probably need some extra logic to ensure that only one subscriber executes desired code (manual binding or smth)

    In older versions (without events) it is not possible.

    You could try to mimic the behavior by calling the CODEUNIT.RUN on a record, and depending on the values passes call different functions, but at the end of it you wll require a place where called codeunit is defined as a variable anyway - so you would have to know its details at design time.

    That way it is not possible. But you can declare your codeunit as a webservice and then you can call functions in that codeunit using PoSh https://mibuso.com/howtos/how-to-use-powershell-to-test-your-nav-webservice
