Start out this way.

Stop using subroutines.  Use subprocedures instead.  Get used to defining
all variables only used within the subroutine in the subprocedure instead
as a local variable.  At some time, or in certain situations, it may make
sense, or be easier, to use a subroutine.  However for the first 3 months
stop their use and use only subprocedures.

Now, after this evolution you may decide that you want this subprocedure
in another program.  Traditionally it was done with a number of different
methods.  Like break it out into a separate program, manually copy and
paste the code, or use /copy.  Now you may want to consider putting that
subprocedure into a service program.

If you take this in this evolutionary way it will make more sense.
