Re: CallP Versus Program 'CALL'

CALLP can be used to call programs (like CALL) or procedures (like CALLB)

Calling procedures is a couple thousand times faster than calling programs.

I was recently reading that a static procedure call is faster than a

I know that with procedures you can pass more data (Parms if you will)

defined procedures really that faster than program CALLS?
