Maintaining Superbase Applications

Run vs Chain vs Load

In the older versions of Superbase, you could only have one program file in memory at a time, so many people adopted a coding style of either trying to stick the entire program into one single SBP file, or they tried to break it up into multiple files and use the LOAD or CHAIN or RUN commands to handle the transfer.

In Superbase version 2 and above, support was added for multiple program files in memory (no limit) so you could put a bunch of helper routines into memory, and then simply call them from the main program. This is the current suggested style of coding a Superbase application. Generally people break their functions up along the lines of the application, and put each set of related functions into it's own procedure library file.
