Re: Best Practices

For general advice on SQR coding styl, feel free to borrow from our
SQR Coding Standards and Naming Conventions:

As for dealing with a 4500 line program that you didn't write,
I always look for three things to give me an idea of what's
going on:

   What are the procedures, and where are they called?
   What are the selects and other SQL statements doing?
   What arrays and load-lookup are declared and used?

HTH.
