QDF And structure of subs

MattiasThalén — Sat, 01 Apr 2023 06:38:56 GMT

I’m curious, how do you store your subs?

I’m torn between storing them all in one script, storing them collected into “library scripts”, or one script per sub.

The QDF subs are stored with each sub in a separate script.

What do you prefer, and why?

I store them in the 99.Shared_Folders container
in one file
this way you only reference one file using $(Must_Include...)
now if you want to organize your sub-routines then you can store them in corresponding files
and yes you reference the file that you think you will use in the app

there is no performance concerns
it is like pasting the refrenced sub-routines

so it is a matter of organizing your script

Ok, yeah that I know.
The thing is I have one file with ~10 misc subs, ~500 lines of code.

And now I’m making a “library” of sorts around a custom mart, that will contain about 20 subs and ~1k lines.

Currently I store them in 0.Misc.qvs and 1.DataMart.qvs, but was pondering if it might make more sense to break out each sub into its own script.

But in terms of reusing the script with other clients, then one file might be better. However, I do have a separate container for the entire “DataMart framework”… so having multiple files shouldn’t be that much of a hassle.
