Answer / prakash
both are same, this should be a difference between call by
reference and by value/content.
Here we send the address of he data in first case and the
value/content in second case.

Answer / sridevi
Call by value will not return the data back to the calling
program
Call by reference shares the common storage for the
variables used between the calling and called program and
the called program returns the data back to the calling
program through by reference

Answer / michael
call by reference:
pass pointer to data
call by content:
copy data into temporary, pass pointer to temporary
call by value:
pass data
if the called program is a cobol program the
address of the receiving linkage data item is set to the
passed data value

Answer / kapil arya
Call By Value, its point to data directly that is why its
faster than the call by reference.
But in Call by Referenc, it points the address of data so
it takes more time in camparison of Call by value.
