I like Gary's idea - but go one further
Try and find 2 OR MORE programs that have the same lines of code and show the powers that be that if those lines of code were in a procedure, it would just be a case of changing ONE thing (after those lines of code were replaced by the new procedure)

Sounds like "sub-procedure" has been interpreted as "I plan to inject our system with this virus I found"
so try switching the focus to "re-usable code" that once thoroughly tested returns your investment because it is a "known and understood function".
Yea, I bet you've already beat that drum . . .

I won't go into the entire lengthy and boring conversation I just had with upper management, but I was basically told that under no circumstances am
I to add procedures to certain applications. The justification is that
by doing so, we will be required to re-test the entire system, payroll, dispatch, load balancing, AP, AR, etc.
I however was provided an opportunity to make my case, and I have a list of reasons, but I need every bit of ammunition I can come up, so any help from ya'll would be cool.
