Right... but sometimes discussion threads change meaning over time, and this one had meandered off into a discussion about when typing "CALLP" was required, so I commented on that offshoot of the discussion.

CALLP is a very versatile tool. It can call *PGMs, like the ancient CALL opcode can. When it does that, performance is the same as CALL would be.

CALLP can also call ILE procedures/subprocedures. In this case, it perfroms better than CALL, but equivalent to the (horrible) CALLB opcode.

CALLP can also call Java Methods. IF you're worried about performance, I would avoid this option.

So, anyway, I think you can see that your question just isn't as simple as you phrased it.

Thanks Scott I suppose I should have worded my post a little better
in the beginning. What I was trying to determine was I'd it faster
to use a procedure either externally or internally defined versus
coding it as a program and using the CALL 'program name'
