That is precisely why I've talked about "procedure/class on memory",

because the only way to have them loaded on memory is with SET PROCEDURE

and SET CLASSLIB, and in this cases the last one is the winner.

"do someproc in locationx" or "NewObject" does not use nothing "in memory",

because they load from the indicated resource directly, hence, does not
