We have been using INFO=PROCINTRINSIC as the default in
our Transact/iX compile script for years.  In addition to what
Cecile mentioned, that way you never have to worry about
including individual  DEFINE(INTRINSIC)  in any program;  and
the intrinsic definition always gets done the same way (less
prone to errors of all kinds).....
