RE: Procedure Management Procedures -- RPG400-L

I can see that, Scott.  What I would like to have done was include
the GENERAL service program inside of the CARTAGE service program,
but that doesn't seem to be doable.  But then when the General was
updated so would the Cartage, or at least it would error out or
something.

I don't like the idea of compiling with more than one service
program, however, and am not even sure if it's possible.  That is
a viable alternative however I suppose.

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.
