RE: Subroutines vs Subprocedures was RE: Indicators

["Lim Hock-Chai" <Lim.Hock-Chai@xxxxxxxx>]

I think I'm digging myself into a hole here.  I guess by now everybody already 
knows that I'm Reaaally bad in giving example :(.

If you consider service program a program then you are correct.  I think you 
can also do the exports/imports between modules and bind them into a program.  
I think I read somewhere that is not a good thing to do.

So far I think Scott is the only one that agrees with me about no reason to use 
sub-routine.  If he is not, then I think I'm all alone about this.  I might 
need to do some rethinking on this.

Not true.  I can make variables "public" in RPG *SRVPGM's.  Read up on
Data Exports/Imports.  Basically the same functionality as Java.  I can
even export it as a different name than what I call it in my RPG program
so maybe there is even more functionality in RPG than Java ;-)
