        [And Brad Said:]  This won't help the situation since the
programs that he is referring to are most likely running the the DAG
already.  Specifying *CALLER for the AG, they will again only be run in
the DAG since that is the "calling program's" AG.  

        Even if Steven were specifying *NEW as the AG on all of his
programs, this would not (or should not) lead to 14 extra seconds of
overhead, unless you have a new data processing person that loves to use
Query/400, and forgot to factor that into the mix.

        It's hard to guess at something like this since we don't know
the conditions in which the machine is running, and what the conditions
were duringing calling program B from the command line, or from pgm A.

        We converted all of our programs from RPGIII to RPGIV and saw no
negative effects..
