Re: Question reusing some code

I think ALL reusable code routines should be put into a service program procedure.

If your shop code is just getting started with it, though, I also think there should be a bit of an idea of the ongoing practice of organizing where to put procedures into which service programs.

Yes that's what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure. Thank you.

I'm trying to create new function using some existing code. This was a

off program to write locations to a Location master.

The program does this for a range of locations

buildRange('B' : 9 :01: 9:30:'A' );

Buildrange is a procedure in the same program. It's definition is:

P BuildRange B
D BuildRange PI
D let 3A VALUE
D frais 3P 0 VALUE
D frslt 3P 0 VALUE
D toais 3P 0 VALUE
D toslt 3P 0 VALUE
d letters 10a value

I would like to use that procedure without copying it to another source
member. I don't think I can do that. What is the best way to reuse the
code? I can copy it out to another source and change this one off

program

to reference it also?

Thank you.
