common procedure

[armandprog]

hello, i am programming in powercobol.
Is it possible to make a common procedure (just for calculate) and use it in several
form?.
Thank's

Sure, just code around the procedure (e.g. something you PERFORM) to make as if it's a function in terms of other languages. Document it well, most certainly. Something like: "Expects INPUT-VAR1, and INPUT-VAR2 as input, returns answer in OUTPUT-VAR1". Design the procedure accordingly and you can reuse it multiple times.

So, you want a subroutine CALLed (with parameters) from another programs ?

Hope This Helps, PH.
