Re: Subfiles as program defined?

["Jade Richtsmeier" <jade.richtsmeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been in your shoes before, and it's painful no matter how you look at
it.  We had numerous programs like this and here's what we did for that
project.

First, we put together programs specs to identify exactly what the program
did, and why.  Then, we identified the useful code in the program (which
there wasn't a lot of), such as detailed calcuations or subroutines that
could be used with minor changes.  Then we rewrote the screen processing
portion of the program.

Basically, we ended up rewriting every screen processing program.  Sometimes
we found some code that just didn't make sense, and instead of taking time
to figure it out, we filled the necessary variables as they had been filled
in the previous program and let the code run.

Good luck!!
