My apologies Alan, I should have said CALLP, I knew what I was trying to
say :) I just didn't make it real clear and I appreciate your picking up
on that! Next homebrew beer is yours :)


Assuming I am understanding you, a CALL is not a procedure call, it is a
program call.

Making a procedure call is thousands of times faster than making a program
call whether that procedure is in a program or in a service program.

Program calls have gotten faster but they are still very slow compared to
procedure call.

I was recently reading that a static procedure call is faster than a
typical program CALL.

I know that with procedures you can pass more data (Parms if you will)
than you can with a typcial program CALL, but are locally or externally
defined procedures really that faster than program CALLS?
