I haven't heard it said (much) lately so if I missed it, forgive me. STANDARDS ARE ESSENTIAL
I have standards for structure, header/commenting, everything including variable names. Everything is done with purpose and according to standard, which makes it very easy to recognize code and its meaning months - even years - after it's been written. Today in particular I'm into code that I wrote in 1993 and it's as fresh as if it were written today. -K -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gordon J Glorfield Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 2:17 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] Good Programming Practice Question......... I prefer alphanumeric labels for subroutines. The label should give some clue as to the function of the subroutine. The subroutines should be in frequency of use order with the most commonly used closer to the top of the program. Subroutines that are used once in a program (file opens, variable initialization, etc...) are located near the bottom. Gordon J.
