Tom,

That is my larger point. I am stating that the pgm call, when applicable,
whether intra or inter system, is the cleanest, less details for the pgmr,
most system architecture features supported way for a client to access a
server. But IBM's pricing and use of CFINT underpowers the interactive
capacity of the system, causing appl designers to not use the module call
method,  resulting in less robust, more costly applications on our system.
