I used to suggest to my colleagues that they systematically put the name of a sub procedure in the end specification instead of :

D E

Our prototypes our declared in the source of the module. When searching for the name of a sub procedure in the source, you get a hit in a comment line before the prototype, the PR declaration, the comment before the sub procedure, the B declaration, the PI declaration, the call to the subprocedure and maybe other comments, but : never in the end of the subprocedure even though the subprocedure might be pages and pages of code.

Well, this still hasn't caught on. So I've decided, if you can't beat'em, join'em and I no longer put the name of the subprocedure in the end spec. It makes for quicker compiling, as I always copy another sub procedure and forget to change the name at the end spec.

My reasoning that the end spec name isn't necessary : if I can't see the start spec on the same page (ok 2 pages for greenscreeners), then my sub procedure is probably too dang long!!!!
