RE: New parameter needed for a subprocedure

Trying to think where passing in the whole file as a data structure might
have helped...

Would it have helped when we went from bpcs 405cd to 8.3 and the item
master not only added new fields but changed the size of several fields
(like changing the item number from 15a to 35a)? Probably not (without
recompiling the module containing the subprocedure also).

Would it help in some special pricing calculation? Probably not, an
enhancement might require the addition of a different file.

If that subprocedure is local to the module then the file spec could be a
global variable and you have it there.
If that subprocedure is the only one that uses the file fields then make
the file spec local also and read the file there.
