Are you familiar with the Don't Repeat Yourself principle in software
engineering? Have you considered writing a generic utility that displays a
window subfile that may contain code-value and description, and may
display
data from any file in your database? Not only Org and Sub-Org, but ANY
file
in your system?

I am familiar with the principle. I'm just not sure it can be (easily)
accomplished when Org has no key input parameter and SubOrg does. It goes
without saying that all of the different files will have different keys.
I'm not sure how that could be accomplished with one procedure.

Not to mention that I am returning the retrieved record as an output
parameter.
