Bob,

It's great to hear that you are updating your skill set and moving to ILE.

Personally, I tend to build service programs around "things". For example, purchase orders would involve a few different files (header, detail, special instructions, etc.) I build a service program for purchase orders and have all subprocs related to po's and their files in there. Once I have this built, I have one place for all business logic and file access related to PO's, which simplifies making changes to business rules as they are not spread over many programs. In fact, most of my mainline programs don't even contain F specs.

Subject: Breaking in to ILE

I am taking it upon myself to break in to the world of ILE programming.
In setting up source members that contain

all of my procedures, I was wondering about what standards you all use.
I want to avoid (of course) having the same

procedures ending up in different source members without noticing it.
For example, many programs would access

our customer file. Do you base your source members on what files the procedures use? Say, one source member

of procedures for each file? Or do you just build them on what the application will need. I'd like to determine a good

standard operating procedure before things get out of control. Thanks for any suggestions.
