Re: Function Opinion

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A feature of collecting similar functions into broadly grouped service
programs is that programmers will learn where and how to find available
functions in a fraction of the time. 
 
One thing I am beginning to see with the one function per service program
policy is that duplicates are popping up under different names simply
because the number of service programs in a shop is becoming overwhelming.
 
(this is an opinion, of course. I am looking forward to reading the
responses of others)

Subject: Function Opinion
 
I have a client that insists on creating service programs with only one
function per service program. I have always been of the opinion that all 
like" functions should be contained in a service program together.
 
That being said, are there any benefits or possible issues with having only
one function per service program?
