I see two ways.

The first and easiest way would be to link EOLASAVE with ORACLEXL at link time.
Then you can just run EOLASAVE without needing the XL= parameter.  I.e.:

        :link from=objfile;to=eolasave;xl=oraclexl.pub.oracle

Or if you can't relink because you don't have the object code, you can altprog:

        :xeq linkedit.pub.sys "altprog eolasave;xl=oraclexl.pub.oracle"

The second way, if for some reason you cannot relink EOLASAVE with ORACLEXL,
is to modify your C program to do:

        system("callci run eolasave;xl=...")
