So, in a 100% RPG application, what kind of situation merits the

For me that would be none ... but I suppose you might find a
situation where you were passing a large number of, say, integers to
a procedure and subsequent profiling showed a performance bottleneck
in parameter passing where, maybe, VALUE might improve things
slightly. Depending on how frequently that procedure was called you
might choose to use VALUE for performance reasons but doing so
without proof that there was a problem and that VALUE would help to
me is premature (and as Donald Knuth is fond of stating: Premature
optimization is the root of all evil--or at least most of it--in
programming).
