Re: Starting out with sub-procedures

My usage of items like QCMDEXC, etc has depreciated.  I rather like the 
API's instead of the commands, at least from HLL's.  The error return code 
is a lot more flexible on the API's then trying to figure out what went 
wrong on a QCMDEXC call.

Re: Starting out with sub-procedures






Making the procedure only have one parm and doing the dirty work
inside the procedure is exactly the way to do it.  Whenever
possible hide the dirty stuff inside procedures so the only one
who has to know about it is the person who wrote the procedure. 
My procedure to execute commands (I use the C function system
but could have used QCMDEXC just as easily) even has optional
parameters that work a little like MONMSG in CL - allowing the
call to indicate it worked successfully even if a certain
message id is received.
