>No and yes. The time for DECLARE is negligible compare to time required to launch an application. You should write a wrapper, but for different reasons.
I was not concerned about the speed of execution, I wanted to be sure that I am not "overloading" the memory and possibly bringing the application to crash. Until, of course, I have time to write and implement the wrapper function.
Thank you.
