The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
The "use procedures" maxim implies the use of local files/variables to the extent possible. Like you said, simply changing EXSR to CALLP and leaving everything else the same accomplishes little.

Subject: Re: What is a Modern RPG Programmer???
I was thinking on this one a bit and aren't sub-procedures main functions where you pass parms in and get info back.
Much like in other programming I do, I like to think of them as a black box, especially when used across applications.
If a sub-procedure for some reason uses all the global program variables and is simply being used to encapsulate some looping logic or something similar, why not use a subroutine instead ?
Just thinking out loud on this.
I don't do a ton of RPG coding any more so a few example use-cases would be good to hear about.
