Sometimes. I sometimes refer generally to subroutines of any sort.
Also, if I remember correctly in Clarion, a subroutine is specifically an internal routine within a function or procedure. It only took about 25 years for C# to get this feature compared to Clarion.

It's not a lambda as such (as I understand the term). Clarion way back in 1991 didn't have the concept of lambdas.
Clarion's routines are just subroutines embedded within parent subroutines (i.e. a procedure or function) such that they are local to their parent.
Yeah, I suppose they share some characteristics with lambdas but 'mentally' and syntactically they aren't like them.

Wow, wow, wow.. some Googling later I learned that Clarion is a 4th generation, multiparadigm programming language! I expect nothing less now!

Clarion... Now that's a name I have not heard in a long time...
I used it for many years, not that template stuff, but real coding. It really wasn't that bad.

Yes, I liked it a lot. I found it extremely pleasant to code in and very productive.
Drawing screen layouts within the source and very easy database design were real pleasures of productivity.

A subroutine is really a function returning void. That is how it is defined and linked in FORTRAN on all the platforms I've used.

I used VB6 for most of my programming life: self taught in 2002, 3 years at school (2004-2006) then 7 years at work (2012-2018).
It's been two years and a half since the last time I touched VB6 code.
Still on occasion my mind slips I still try to write VB code in C++. I hope someday I will stop writing
Do While
...
Loop
If ... Then and
For i = 0 To N

Be strong. You'll get there!
When we give up an addiction to a dangerous substance - be it Tobacco, Heroin, or VB - you have to expect some minor lapses; we all have them.
The important thing to do is remember that you didn't slip back. You didn't reach for an ancient compiler to get your fix - you laughed at the impulse and corrected your behaviour.
We are all very proud of you!

Sometimes the temptation is strong. "But I have to automatize a simple task with a GUI, it is so easy with VB", "It's only a small program for my parents, what damaga could it do?".

I know, I know - we've all been there. But think of the effort you went through to get where you are - don't throw it away for a quick fix!
Remember, VB is a gateway language: you could end up coding in Python, or - gawd help us all - PHP ...

What about
On Error Goto label 
|
|
|
|
|
This one is better - makes sure your program NEVER crashes:
On Error Resume Next
and it's much easier and shorter than
try
{
DoStuff();
}
catch
{
}

Ouch!
While I think most VB bashing is childish at best, that one is indeed an abomination.
