Re: CALL vs CALLP with EXTPGM

Michael, when you specify Extpgm, you are going to perform a dynamic CALL
with the CALLP.  Yes, the main advantage is that the compiler will validate
the prototype to ensure that the parms match in data type/length (and other
goodies). Also, CALLP is supported in free form whereas CALL is fixed
format only.
