Subroutines

A comment box must precede the subroutine.  The comment box should contain the name of the subroutine and a short description of its function (what it is doing, not how it is doing it). 

Example:

*---------------------------------------------------------------*
*     Form CONVERT_DATE                                         *
*---------------------------------------------------------------*
*     This form converts date from DDMMYYYY to MM/DD/YYYY       *
*---------------------------------------------------------------*
*     Parameters / Tables:                                      *
* -->  IV_DATE  Date in DDMMYYYY format                         *
* <--  OV_DATE  Date in MM/DD/YYYY format                       * 
*---------------------------------------------------------------*
