What sort of call do you use?

No rush to answer this, just for my own thoughts.
Call "literal" I get. I can scan the souce for every program that uses a particular sub-program. If a static call, I can autolink it (I assume that is still around). If a dynamic call, I can eve see all the modules a program calls by browsing the object or load module. You can even make a little hybrid of static/dynamic (or the technies can).
I may be too "old school", but call data-name of any sort, I don't get. Not for production. Are there any reasons to use it over an ordinary call "literal"?
