A procedure will almost always be faster - it is either linked directly in the program, or it is in a service program. If it is called many times, it will definitely be faster, because it doesn't have to locate the program every time.

Hi,

I have to come up with a process to generate invoice numbers, using both
numeric and alpha characters. I am trying to decide whether to create a
program or procedure to housed the algorithm. In general, which run
faster, an ILE program or a procedure?
Thanks!
