I am currently launching a Python script from RM/COBOL with CALL SYSTEM. Seems there is some overhead associated with SYSTEM, I am looking for a more efficient method. Are there any alternatives recommended?

You could use RM Codebridge to call ShellExecute Windows API. However, I have not tried this myself yet.
We use a product from Flexus call ApiSimple to call external routines. This works with 32bit Windows only.

Swapnil,
Assuming you are on Linux, the only overhead on CALL “SYSTEM” is involved in handling the terminal so the screen contents can be restored when the Python script terminates. If the script is not going to alter the screen contents, there are settings that can bypass this action.
