Yes, create two procedures. My rule is always can you describe what a
function(procedure) does without the use of a conjunctive verb (And, Or). If
you can't, then something is wrong.

Although I'm not particularly fond of fusing what I believe to be two
completely procedures into one (i.e. a SetGet... procedure).

But another way is to make the SetTransactionCode procedure a
SetGet procedure. Make the transaction code parameter
*NOPASS. Add a return value for the transaction code.

When passed a transaction code, that value is saved and also returned.

When not passed a transaction code, the saved value is returned.

Then the transaction code can be saved in a STATIC variable
local to the SetGet procedure.



I've tried this out and I rather like it.

But how would you name this procedure?

If I do SetTransactionCode then GetTransActionCode, the program code is
self-documenting. SetGetTransActionCode needs commenting. I called it
InzTransActionCode.
