Hi again,

1. Call Function =

Some global FM is available in SAP, and we can use it.

2. CALL =

it means there is an internal call to some C function inside the Kernel.

This C function is compiled and is a part of the sap system,

we cannot directl see it in R/3. Such syntax is not generally used, apart by SAP itself.

CALL FUNCTION --- to call a Function module

CALL --- used when calling UNIX commands i guess

When you check the source code of that function module , you can get the same code which is

CALL 'DB_GET_REL' ID 'DBRELEASE' FIELD release.
