Tiny sidebar to this request. If there are dozens of programs calling the same sub and you need a new variable passed by one for e new purpose and don't want to visit the other calling programs, I've found that one of the variables could have its second attribute utilized for this new value.
The sub itself should grab the second attribute and reset the variable to itself. Thus you only change the calling program in question and the sub. SUBROUTINE ABC (X,Y) NEW.THING=X<2> X=X<1> blah, blah, blah. Maybe this helps.
