RE: Is this the University of Midrange.com? (was Re: Comp in DDS)

Your manager, in my opinion, has much to learn about code maintenance.
Fewer lines do not an easier to maintain program make.  Remember that code
change I suggested offlist?  Was that easier or more difficult to understand
than what you had?  Attempts to make fewer lines of code for the sake of
fewer lines often create programs that require many extra hours to
understand. Worse, they can be easily misunderstood. 

Just my opinion, of course, backed by some experience dealing with such
programs.

The mgr. feels that the code must be as small as possible, as the mgr. might
be called in the middle of the night to fix something, and feels that the
less RPG to have to decipher, the better.
