Hi Hans,
Isn't that also an advantage of a dynamically called program? IIRC, the
original post was asking why procedures are better than dynamically called
programs.
Well, yeah, I suppose. Technically, dynamically called programs and
procedures share a lot of the same advantages. But as I suggested
earlier, a lot of the advantages are overshadowed by performance
issues when procedures are implemented as dynamically called
programs. Use statically bound procedures and that disadvantage
disappears, allowing the other benefits to shine through.
However, if you do nothing else and just use procedures instead of
dynamically called programs, the only benefit you get is better
performance. But with an intelligent restructuring effort, you can
then reap other benefits. More use of well-designed modular
procedures means more flexible code, more readable code, and more
maintainable code.
Cheers! Hans
