When we invoke a form from OPEN_FORM built-in, we can freely move to calling form and called form.
When we invoke a form from CALL_FORM built-in, we cannot move to the calling form unless we complete our work in the called form and close it.
e.g:

We have FormA, FormB.
We open the formB from FormA.
OPEN_FOR('FormB');
We can move the focus to FormA and FormB without closing FormB.

CALL_FORM('FormB');
In this case, when FormB os opened, we have to complete the required work in FormB and have to close FrmB before moving the focus to FormA.

We cannot move the focus to FormA unless we close FormB.

Ho[efully, it's clear.
Cheers!
