Not being familiar with all things module, I have a question.

I have a module containing some really nasty code, such as:

lines repeated:

FIELDB = FIELDA
FIELDB = FIELDA
(fieldb cannot equal fielda unless you move the value twice)

code which makes no logical sense:

FIELDA = FIELDA
FIELDB = FIELDB (for twenty fields)

FIELDA = FIELDA + FIELDA
FIELDB = FIELDB + FIELDB (for twenty fields)


The module consists of several procedures and one of these contains
subroutines of illogical code. I have not had the opportunity to look at
the program which calls this module, but the subroutines containing this
goofy code are not called within the procedure.

Is the calling program using the subroutines in the module? I'll know more
on Monday when I review the calling program. This module contains both the
IMPORT and EXPORT keywords.

I suspect that the original programmer was either paid by the number of
lines of code written or that these subroutines were cobbled together as
proposed code but never used.

Any ballpark ideas?
