I try to create service programs related to each ("basic data") PF. Then the
impact of a database change is minimal. There's of course an overhead in
doing so, but it depends on the size of your files. You gain in terms of ease
of maintenance.
Example *srvpgm: Cust
Procedures:
CustIsValid
CustGetName
CustGetList
a.s.o.
In "my" applications i found that 80+% of all DB use is a simple setll/chain
to check if a key is valid and an additional 5+% is retrieving the name/text
of a given key. Replacing the file def., key def., and code required for this
eases the database change process considerably.
