Chris,

I feel for ya.  I dumped the original message, but I think it had to do with
updating "legacy" code.  I don't think that the people who wrote what you are
having to deal with had our current ability to localize functions.  But they
-did- have the ability to reuse code by the judicious use of /COPY.

I was only trying to point out that at the time these fine folks wrote those
programs they had an opportunity to make your (and their) life easier. Hence the
smiley.

It saddens me to hear stories like yours and you just know that those folks
undoubtedly call themselves "professionals".

While /COPY, with good rules in place, might certainly have its uses, it is
absolutely not the same as having localized functions.
