I know Jon,  but it seems like the same cost no matter when it occurs.

If I have a procedure that's in a service program(and worse if that service
program evokes other service program's procedures - cascading) and only
logically use it sometimes, I don't have the capablity to decide when to
incur the cost.

The way it is now,  I get charged every time the main program is called
even if I only logically use that function 1 in 100 or more times right?

It seems like Opening a File.   It costs (say) 100 bucks,  It doesn't
matter if I use USROPN or not,  it cost 100 bucks, either on the OPEN
statement or at program startup.

But at least with USROPN, I don't get charged if I never open it.

but (as a person from Arkansas told me)  "It's Fly shit on a cannonball"
difference now.
