Chris,
My remarks weren't directed at you or Mark it's just that the thread had gone
on long
enough with general "whining" and your post just happened to be the one I hit
the reply
button on.
I too would like to see an ability to externally define variables and have
subroutines,
and if I can't get that I'll settle for a /COPY like function to incorporate
standardized
code. For example at the end of every CL program we have a message forwarding
process in
the event of a CPF error not expliciatly handled within the program.
But even at that, a subroutine is just another call and a display file
declaration can
give you external variable definition.
Regards
James W. Kilgore
