Fire the programmer! (Maybe a bit too harsh?)
Hasn't anybody heard of MODULAR?

Ted,
Well that may be a partial solution but over the years.. I have seen
cobol translators (convert from UNIVAC to IBM example) produce LARGE
cobol source. So half way defending the programmer (in this instance)
it may not be his/her fault.
Going back 20 some years I have seen some HUGE cobol programs. This was
at a company that totally bought into modular programming. I have also
seen hired "guns" brought in to break up large programs sometimes they
were able to do it sometimes they finally surfaced with a suggestion to
break it up into several programs. I have also seen after a few years
the program grow back into a large program. Apparently there is life
after death for cobol programs. Maybe it was pregnant ??
