Right.Adding a method call or whatever in Java is also simple.
The problem with Java is that it becomes a side effect. You have to add
a method call to retrieve some information. You don't know what else
that method may do without some additional research. Also, everybody
who calls you now also calls that other method. This is one of the main
sources of code bloat in an OO environment.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen in RPG, but I am saying that
modifications to procedural code tend to have fewer side effects than
modifications to OO, at least when the OO code is taking full advantage
of data hiding and encapsulation. If your OO code is written like
procedural code, then there's not as much difference, but that just
reinforces my point.
