Re: ILE Fear/Design (Was: Looking into the Program stack)

Dear István,

a) reminds me somehow of searching an RPG expert, max. 20 years old, with 30
years of experience.

b) The first finger loads the program, following fingers only get their own
variable storage. But that's how i suppose the machine does it already with
every program.
The so-called OPM CALL does still exist; it's just the "dynamic" call. And
this isn't forbidden or old style. The worst thing i can imagine is binding
all these F4-programs to every program!
The call of a matchcode-program or the callp of a matchcode service program
are pretty much the same; i assume the first one to do more harm to storage
/ performance. The compiler knows much more about the function/procedure to
be called at compile time and might be able to optimize it. If not now,
maybe in coming releases. CALLP offers other advantages, but you'll read
this in the re(a)dbook...

But maybe the experts can explain this for us? Hans?

:-)
