Rob,

As others have pointed out, that's a rather open-ended question.
However, far be it for me to keep my mouth shut, so...

IMnsHO, it's always been true, and even more so now with the speed of
the iSeries boxes, that the efficiency of programmers should take
priority over the efficiency of code. Look, with rare exception, we're
not writing real-time performance critical applications on the iSeries. 

What's important from an efficiency point of view is that your
programmers can take a business requirement and implement it before the
business changes so much that the solution isn't needed anymore. And
that, perhaps even more important, when another programmer goes to
change that code in 5 years they can tell what it's doing and change it
w/o breaking it.

Write code that is well-structured and well thought out, and you'll gain
more "efficiency" then you'll ever gain deciding between a GOTO, an
EXSR, a procedure in a *MOD and a service program.

HI I would like to know, what might constitute, bad coding practice in
RPG ILE. 

Thank you,
