of course.  are you aware that it does not map the CL variable into
the argument of the called procedure?  that is a bug waiting to
happen. You can make a strong case that CALLPRC should not be used
because of this.  otherwise, someone in the organization comes along
after you, makes an innocent code change to the procedure being called
- the result being code that fails the next time the CLLE module is
run.
