RE: Subroutines vs Subprocedures was RE: Indicators

Yep, your main program should have one entry and one exit point. That's
what THEY say anyhow. BTW, who are THEY?

Thanks,

I see what you are saying.
But when it comes to having a return exit the program and not the
subprocedure, that's one advantage that a subroutine has.
Granted, it's probably a violation of structured programming.

RE: Subroutines vs Subprocedures was RE: Indicators






I don't see a reason to use sub-routine at all.  Sub-procedure can not
exsr to main procecdure's sub-routine.  If you mix them, you might endup
have to change sub-routine to sub-procedure because of that.

It's all a matter of where you want to break the code. I tend to make
subprocedures more generic and subroutines more specific.
