I have a service program that does some really complex calcs. Tried to get another developer to use it but he could/would not understand. When I wrapped a callable program around it, he used it all the time. I guess the upside is he is using my module.

We're writing an EDI (like) interface for an external source and I wrote CL Commands for all the config/data retrieval and CSV/tab/pipe file processing... "Why are you making it so hard? Give us the program name and we'll just call the program directly."

C'mon people....

Companies I used to work at I would write service programs but the
programmers demanded that I write a callable program wrapping the
procedure
because they would not touch a procedure. Same thing were ever I have
been.

This sounds familiar.
