Our company has recently tried to steer away from using multiple displays.
We've found that the more displays you have to manage in a program, the
longer the program becomes and more complex it ends up being. Ever try to
read a program that uses 6 different displays, all with subfiles? Nasty!
(Especially if all of the fields are named slightly different, because none
of the files are prefixed!).
That said, we do still on occasion keep multiple display files together. An
example might be a maintenance program where you have a couple of add /
change windows to bring up. When possible, we split into one display per
program. More modular that way too!

Subject: Multiple Displays vs One Display

I have an opinion oriented question. I have noticed in our shop that
many programs use multiple displays within one program. What is the
prevailing wisdom of many displays in a program versus one program/one
display?
