STOP and think a minute. You *cannot* replace "call" with "exe" because you MUST "call" a function, unless you want to evaluate the function and execute the string result it returns as if it were an ex command.

This should work fine. You say Vim just displays the command...but there is no "echo" anywhere. Are you sure you tried this exact command?

I experimented as follows and everything works as expected:

function! MyFunc(num)
echo "number is " a:num
endfun
silent! unmenu Plugin.foo
exe 'anoremenu '."Plugin".'.'."foo".' :call MyFunc("'."12345".'")<CR>'

I get a "foo" item in my "Plugin" menu, and when I click on it, I see "number is 12345" echoed on the screen.

As discussed above, this will not work. "exe" means "take this string and use it like an ex command". "call" is what you want.
