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

At the risk of getting things thrown at me... this program might
explain some of the reluctance to hire 30-year veterans of
programming from the neighboring thread.
There are a number of old-timers whose formal training consist of
"the Call verb is Evil!" and "Michael Jackson says goto is cool!".
I'm not saying all, or even a majority, of old-timers would write
such a thing, but no PFCSK with an ounce of training would write such
crap. Your chances of avoiding monolithic garbage like this are
better the younger the programmer.
And I would say firing is not harsh enough.
Anyone that writes a 309k line module should be dipped in honey and
strung up over an ant hill next to the person at Micro$oft that
invented that damn paper-clip.
