RE: Procedure Management Procedures

[Scott Mildenberger <Smildenber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the example below I would create 3 different service programs.  I don't
like th idea of a module being put into more than one service program, it
just increases the chance that something doesn't get updated when a change
is made.  We only bind a module into one place, it is either to a single
program or into a service program if it is used more than one place.  As
much as you can use bind by reference (using service programs) then it
eliminates the chance that a program is using the wrong version of code.
