Is there a difference between the CL processor and the command parser?
This always confuses me.

Yes there is a difference....
In a CLP (program), the compiler can determine the attributes of data being
passed, and will not need to analyze the parameter data in order to declare
storage. There are no ambiguities in compiled CL.
In a command line scenario, you would most likely create a *CMD object to serve
as the parser. Again, because the CMD object is compiled, and the command
source fully defines the type and dimensions of the data elements, there is no
need to analyze the data to determine its type and length.
In the CALL command, when processed from the command line, you do not have
access to parameter sizing information, so the parameter data fields need to be
analyzed and an "appropriate" size for parameter data need to be determined.
