There isn't, besides perhaps the ability to use different keywords. I use
the PR/PI method for programs myself, but I usually have this comment:

// *ENTRY

Above it for programmers to search.

Hi all,

Can someone clarify me what is the different between *ENTRY and coding a
procedure as the same name of the program and using EXTPGM keyword

Ex;

Abcpgm pr extpgm('ABCPGM')
Parm1 10a

Abcpgm pi
Parm1 10a
