RE: Need some ammunition (Procedures vs. Sub-routines)

Dutch,

... I have to say it....

It's Simple. Don't call them Procedures....
Explain that IBM has a new kind of subroutine that you can pass parameters
to....
Refer to them as "Parameter Subroutines" or maybe "Psubroutiners".

Kidding aside, Sorry man, I feel your pain.

Subject: Need some ammunition (Procedures vs. Sub-routines)

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.
