Practical Macro Size Limit?
I said I was OLD, couldn't remember the word "module" to save my life. Not
ignorance, just a little "Halfzheimer's" <g). Non "Process" est, sed
"Module". Mea culpa <g!

I'm building a Macro that is growing "like Topsy". At the moment it is 145

an old (really OLD<g) VFP programmer, my thinking and development pattern is
shaped by that experience.
So, is it considered bad form to have a macro get large? I recall that in
C++ the recommendation was to try to hold a process to one screenful where
possible, and then build a "parent" process that called the segments in
sequence. However my macro consists of a series of nested For Loops that goes
five or six levels deep.
Just wondering -- and trying to learn <g!
