RE: Function Opinion

[Joel Cochran <jrc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I cannot imagine ever wanting to do this.  It seems to defeat the
purpose of service programs and binding directories altogether.  I will
frequently put one procedure in a module, but then I put a bunch of
modules in a service program and a bunch of service programs in the
binding directory.  If you are going to do it this way, then just bind
the individual modules into your program and maintain that.  It still
sucks but at least on some level it makes sense.

I'm not trying to be insulting, I just don't see the logic of it. 
Convince me.
