Since he wrote "ALL" in capitals, I'd have guessed he wanted to
also record each "bid..."'s result.

My guess would be to not call the procedure gimmedat,
but instead use info body gimmedat to get the procedures
body as string (unless of course you already have it that
way), split it by "\n", and eval/uplevel each line individually.

If the procedures are really that simply structured, this might be
a feasible way.
