RE: OVRDBF in ILE (was: diff btw Procedures and Routines)

>I GREATLY prefer the use of *NEW/*CALLER.

I agree, especially in light of

>unless you're using *NEW in a silly fashion.

Reasonable:
A few (half dozen?) top level programs are *NEW.  Say, the A/R menu main
program is *NEW and all other A/R programs are *CALLER.

Silly:
Many programs (most?) are *NEW because that's the default on CRTPGM.  Many
(some?) programs are *CALLER because "I heard it's better performance."

Randomly starting new activation groups (whether named or *NEW) is not a
good idea.
