Function Numbering
Posted in 1995
Our shop is currently involved in a huge debate regarding numbering of Informix functions. It seems that the COBOL guys like it and the Informix experienced don't. I think it's a lousy idea. I wonder if anyone out there has ever seen numbered Informix functions? If so, did you do any maintenance of that code? What did you think of numbered functions? Did it speed up construction/maintenance or slow it down? Even if you've never worked with numbered Informix functions, what do you think of the idea? Basically, numbered functions would look something like this: FUNCTION f0100_get_orders() FUNCTION f0200_count_orders() FUNCTION f0300_dsply_orders() ... CALL f0100_do_this() CALL f1200_do_that() CALL f0250_do_the_other() So, let's here it. --- ~ SPEED 1.40 [NR] ~
