Re: Need some advice
Being a mainframe programmer, I can relate to your experience. We have millions of lines of code that was converted from assembly to COBOL using automated software leaving hundreds of GO TO's all over the place.
Even though the system has its caveats, it is one of the most capable, expandable, and reliable insurance administration systems out there. So, I know that we'll be keeping it for a long time. Our modification policy has been to preserve base functionality and methods(including goto's) which was proven to work. However, when we add new code, we have to abide by strict standards to make our code more readable and maintainable.
