  • Subject: CALL, CALLP, & CALLB
  • From: Patrick Shrader <pshrader@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello everyone. 

I am trying to distinguish the differences in the CALLP & CALLB commands
vs. the CALL command in RPG IV. I am trying to locate a web site or
document that summarizes the differences between these and to give me some
ideas as when to use these.

We use a LOT of CALLs to subprograms (verifying account numbers, returning
employee information, returning item file information). I assume that both
CALLP and CALLB will be faster than a CALL. Does anyone have any hints as
to best convert the subprogram to a module, and what prototypes should be
used for this?

And if you know of a good website with code examples that are easy to
follow, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
