That is not the case. My understanding of it is that modules are copied into program at compile time but service progroms are not. All the modules/procedures within a service program are activated within your job the first time you call a module/procedure within that service program, so the first call should be sluggush, but any remaining calls should be fast,fast,fast! -----Original Message----- From: Joe Teff [mailto:jteff19@idt.net] Sent: Friday, June 04, 1999 2:08 PM To: Midrange Dot Com Subject: Using CALLB with a Service Program I have always understood that a CALLB was a 'bind by copy' where a copy of all the modules involved were copied into a program. A service program may contain multiple modules, but all code in them would be procedures. As I'm getting into coding cgi-bin in RPG/ILE, I would use the following CALLB statements to first read the input fields from the form to get a string with all of the data and then convert them to fields within my program: C CALLB 'QtmhRdStin' PARMS1 C CALLB 'QtmhCvtDb' PARMS2 PARMS1 and PARMS2 refer to the appropriate parameter list for each call. In order to compile my program, I need to name QTCP/QTMHCGI as a service program. I do not understand how this works. Are QtmhRdStin and QtmhCvtDb modules or procedures or what? They were not copied into my program, so why would CALLB be used?
