Yes, but the earlier question was how would that be different than a CALL?
See, if you change the called program wouldn't that be just as seamless, if
not more so, as changing a service programs subprocedure?  Granted I would
use the ILE approach, but this a strong argument to counter.

Local variables are nice, but the real beauty of using procedures and
modules is the reusability and maintainability that you gain as time goes
by.

You might ask your new ILE programmer if he/she has ever had a situation
where a calculation or routine needed to be modified but all the places
where that calculation was coded either weren't known, all of the weren't
found, or even if they were all found, how much time did it take to find
them all and change them all.  And then of course not all those
calculations were coded the same so the programmer had to change them
differently to achieve the same result.

Once you've developed your store of procedures and modules, the maintenance
effort is greatly reduced.
