Hi Geoff,
-- breaking out routines for local vs. server connection
You're ignoring my notes: application requirement: the calling syntax must be identical for client, server, and single user.
-- breaking out a routine for when we're just counting records that match vs. returning data
Why? It is not used anywhere else but in this handler. Like Chipp, if I find a need for the logic in another handler, I'll generalize it.
-- breaking out a routine that, given a itemList describing a set of fields, returns the data from those fields
Why? It is not used anywhere else but in this handler. Like Chipp, if I find a need for the logic in another handler, I'll generalize it. And actually, theSDRecordMatches function handles most of that logic.
to me a routine like this is more than five times as difficult to understand/debug/manage than the five twenty line routines that might replace it.
Where's the beef! Show me the money! Divide findSDRecord into five twenty-line routines and post the result.
I must say, Geoff, you seem to have a penchant for splitting handlers when there is no need to do so.
