The following are some additional guidelines for working with processes and functions:

• Process and function names should follow site standards. Be sure to define, publish and enforce your site standards.
• LANSA RDML provides a set of FUNCTION characteristics which can be standardized and made part of application templates. Review and use the FUNCTION options. For example, all functions must be *DIRECT if developing in a Visual LANSA environment.
• Use developer code reviews as a means of training new developers and as a means of checking that site standards are being followed.
• Use the LANSA application templates and customize these templates to meet your site standards. Templates are a quick way to ensure that all screens and reports have the same look and feel. (Refer to  Using Application Templates.)
• Create help text for all processes and functions. Because of LANSA's development security, you can even have users enter help text.
• Use the impact analysis tool to help control changes and assess what changes need to be performed. Impact analysis can save a significant amount of time testing and rebuilding your application. Impact analysis can also create lists for group objects.
• No process should contain more than 20 functions, unless it is a special subroutine or prompt key "grouping" process.

For details about designing processes and functions, refer to Processes and Functions in the LANSA Application Design Guide.
