Susan doesn't write subroutines any more. Come to this session to find out why.
Using subprocedures, you can create your own callable functions to be as powerful as IBM's built-in functions. This session will introduce you to the basics of writing subprocedures so that you can begin to build more powerful, modular applications. We will introduce the syntax and coding techniques for subprocedures by converting an existing subroutine to a subprocedure. Then we'll create a new subprocedure from scratch. Finally, we will look at how the syntax and coding techniques change slightly to externalize your subprocedures to make them more easily reusable via ILE Service Programs.
