I think Joe touched on the guts of the issue here.  

SubProcedures allow for the kind of variable segmenting, isolation,
and re-usability that is necessary in state-less and object-oriented
programming.   For typical, "state-driven", top-down RPG programming,
there is little substantive difference between SR and SubProc().  I
see SubProcedures as being a bit more work, since you need the
prototypes.
