RE: CALL, CALLP, & CALLB

I believe CALLB (CALL BOUND PROGRAM) is strictly in regards to ILE
programming in the calling of another ILE bound program module.

                Subject:        CALL, CALLP, & CALLB

                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.
