RE: Benefits of Sub-procedures

Who are these bright people who are getting it wrong?
Granted I been known to dislike some of the implementations in RPG IV (like
the colon, some of the free format stuff, etc.) but I don't think bright
people are getting the new stuff wrong, I think they are just not be
thorough. They assume things work they way they think they should, and that
is often no longer the case with RPGIV... and that's too bad.

What fascinates me even more is how many really bright people are getting
this stuff wrong. Just as I suspected, this stuff is not as easy as y'all
want us huddled masses to believe.

Joel, that's a benefit of prototypes, not of procedures. You can make a
prototyped call to a program.
