Can someone answer a question about program sub-routines

2009-07-04 by rickwendel763242

I'm aware that sub-routines are very useful. The thing I don't like is that the sub-routine is an object that must be stored in the same directory as the main program (I think). If its a big program you have a bunch of little programs to sort through to find the main program. Is their a way to tidy that up? Not to mention that you have to purge them all if you plan to use them with a CASE statement as objects to be evaluated - unless you can call the sub-routine in the form of a compiled local variable and CASE statement object which I haven't actually tried yet. (Compiled local variables automatically go away after program execution.) If their was a quick, neat way of doing all that it would be more useful than what I'm actually asking for help with. But, never-the-less I feel that what I'm about to describe would be useful anyway. That is, how do you write a small program (sub-routine) and copy and paste its contents into a larger one? I'm not talking about calling the name, I'm talking about copying the contents. How do you copy the contents of the small one and place it inside at a specific point in the larger program? Or, is their a way to just use the sub-routine name without having to keep 20 subs in the same directory with the main program?
