With a service program I can change the parameter list to an existing function, or let a completely different
function (with a changed parameter list) take over the name of an old function; and still let old programs
using the old function work without modification or recompilation. How would you accomplish this with your
CallM opcode?

Steve,
 
WRKMBRPDM option 14, where are there two steps? Yes, I know that behind the scenes there are two steps issued to create the program, but from a programmer's point of view there is only one step involved. IF they choose to, they can create modules and bind them together, but they are not forced to use multiple steps when they move to ILE.
 
Good point. But in practice, I dont think a ile shop can hire a pgmr that does not understand things like service pgms, binding directories and signatures. This is a level of complexity that was added to achieve the functionality of the reuseable module. You should be able to CallM to a module just like you CallX to a pgm. Any performance impact of this is corrected by next years higher speed cpu. This gives you the functionality of modules without the added complexity.
 
Steve
