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.
