Biased as I may be, but my PRINT example program will handle any of this and
much, much more instead of writing (and forgetting about) miscellaneous
procs and other small, limited use programs. It will give you more.
A problem with sending stuff to a proc is knowing how many parameters are
necessary as they all get slotted in A1, A2, A3 etc. If the values in the
subroutine contain (or allow) spaces, then this proc is useless. Plus, you
would have to test for n number of parameters before closing the
parenthesis.
Clearly typing this at tcl is better:
PRINT ; CALL SUBNAME(VAL1, VAL2, VAL3)
Later in the day you could type:
PRINT ; CALL ANOTHERSUB(VAL1, VAL2, VAL3, VAL4, VAL5, X) ; PRINT X
and not have to write another proc.
In fact, I welcome any criticisms or limitations anyone would have against
establishing this PRINT command to handle everything. I know of 2 limits: 1)
No hanging ELSE or THENs. 2) Cannot use READNEXT. Other than that I'm all
ears.
My 3 cents.
