Doesn't all these calls affect performance ?
</Gad>

yes, they do!!! getting some benefit, you usually would have to pay something!!! You would get more flexible applications (sorting subfiles and reports by any column, filtering subfiles and reports by any column), better programmers performance (use wellknown programming style, under the cover SQL is used). decouple applications from database with (nearly) no programming effort. enable database redesign without changes in your applications. stop riscy recompile orgies after minimal changes in your database.
For vintage as400 installations this would be a problem and I would not recommend to try to modernize applications, running on historical computers (very similar to trying to run a windows UI on original XT Hardware). Running on recent Hardware the additional needed CPU cycles would not be a problem in nearly all cases.
