Re: Benefits of Sub-procedures

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What would be more objects,

a service program that performs your most used Order Entry
Functionality

or

A program for each piece of Order Entry functionality?

or, let's assume they make a callable program to do all
these functions.  Can you imagine what the plist would look
like?  *shudder*

Along with what others have said, modularity and logical
grouping of often used functions will actually shrink the
number of "objects" used rather than increase them. It will
make the programmer more productive in the long run,
allowing you to make more people happy, etc.. etc..

I can tell you, I've written quite a few applicatons
ranging from very large to small.  In every case there is
no way I'd want to go back to program calls vs. using
subprocedures...

Like someone said, it sounds like they already made up
their minds, but maybe the problem is the learning curve.
 Offer then instead of using ILE to just switch entirely
over to Java and see what the reaction is.  :)
