Re: Calling a sub-procedure from a service program with a CL program

I'm sorry, but that was NOT your original question. Your original question was (this is a copy/paste from your message):

Is it possible to call a subprocedure from a service program
from within a CL (or CLLE) program?

You'll note that NOWHERE in your message do you way CLP! You mention CL, which is something else entirely, and CLLE -- CLLE is the only one of those choices that's ILE, and therefore the only one that can call a service program.

How do I bind the binding directory
The answer was to use the command CRTPGM

You can't use CRTPGM with a CLP -- CLP is OPM, CRTPGM is ILE. Your member types should be CLLE if you're using CRTPGM.

This lead to my statement that you replied to
How can I apply a binding directory when using the CRTCLPGM command
Hopefully you can now see my predicament

CRTCLPGM is OPM, it can't compile ILE code!! You can't use a binding directory with CRTCLPGM!! But, your accusation (or the way I read it, anyway) is that MKS uses CRTCLPGM for CLLE source member types -- and that's what I can't believe. I simply can't accept that MKS is 12 years behind the times and doesn't understand the difference between OPM and ILE. More likely, you (who have consistently in this thread sounded confused about the diff between CL, CLP and CLLE) are setting your member type to CLP instead of the correct CLLE.
