If we broke this into a separate files, then there would be TWO (2) files: 1 for the source code of the routines and a 1 for the table entries which reference those routines. Is that then acceptable as well?

Same pattern applies to the DEBUG functions Info refers to in another thread:  2 separate files would be required as well.

2 files for Error Injection code
2 files for DEBUG controls
1 files for text mapping

and I assume all these would be included via an #include statement at their appropriate locations

thx
