One of the things preventing this from happening is the limitations of the
language with respect to the shared namespace. In order for me to use a
publicly available service program with RPG, I have to hope that the
author's naming convention doesn't clash with my own internal standards.
Qualified procedure names would go a long way towards making your wish come
true.
