But *PSSR is there to handle things that are unexpected. If an error is
possibly expected, definitely use MONITOR. I also don't see the problem
with *INZSR, why get rid of a subroutine, just because it s a subroutine?
I agree there are times when *INZSR should not be used but just to replace
it with a named procedure, just so you don't have a subroutine, I don't
see the point. procedures and subroutines both have their uses.

my opinion of course.

Nothing wrong with subroutines. If you have *INZSR or *PSSR, you can't
convert those to procedures.


good. get rid of them. replace *INZSR with a procedure that is passed a
control block type data struct or series of main procedure variables you
intend to pass from procedure to procedure.

*PSSR. I dont think I have ever coded one. Use MONITOR instead.


Also, any subroutines with a RETURN in them
will only exit the subprocedure when they are converted, and not return
to
the calling program, as was intended, meaning you'll have to rewrite the
logic.


or return a parm telling the caller to end the program.
