Modularizing Code with Procedures and Include Files

When you tackle an application, your first inclination might be to write a number of individual, potentially lengthy procedures where each procedure performs a complete and perhaps complex task. You can save yourself time and make your application easier to maintain by using modular code. In Progress, you can use different types of procedures to modularize your code. The type of procedure you use depends on the needs of your application. This section discusses procedure files, external procedures, internal procedures, and include files.
