Hi Mark, Believe it or not it is written in RPGIV, which makes it even worse that the *&^&^%*&%%$ wrote it in this way!

I maintain a bunch of older style programs written in this vein. It's ridiculous. So, it happens in the USA as well. Normally, the first thing I do is convert the bloody thing to RPG IV. That at least gives me some breathing room in the source. And yes, there were times when I just rewrote the damn thing. Good Luck, Mark Mark D.

This program I now curse and condemn to hell for eternity was written in the style of a case tool, in the style of not by. That is the mainline consists of a number of CASEQ and EXSR statements, these then lead to, obviously, subroutines, but some of these subroutines just contain one line, like SETON LR and Chain. They are almost impossible to debug if you want to step thru line by line. Is it just the Netherlands where these are written? I never came across this in the UK, the last company I worked in here in NL one guy was constantly trying to get me to write my programs in this style, he convinced my non-techie manager that it was the way to go too. Now here I have found at least three other "programmers" suffer from this, have I missed something? Is this the new thing? Or am I just being over critical? Now I go to try a! nd finish this damn thing off, maybe I should just re-write the damn thing?
