Hi,
` I need to have a routine that returns the cost and price of an
item. There are many variables that come into play, so I want this
external to my original program. My first thought was to create a new
program and call it each time I hit a new item. Then I thought,Hey, this
is the 21st century, there has to be a better way! I have written a total
of one service program, quite some time ago, so I am pretty rusty. When I
write this new 'program', can I define it as a stand alone sub-procedure,
or should it be defined as a service program. This routine will be used
thousands of times to create the end report. I am also playing around
with the idea of 2 programs, one for cost and one for price. The other
option is to create a work file, update the cost& price in batch, then
print the report from the work file. Any suggestions?
