                 << File: MsgBdy1.txt >> Make your compilation instructions
easy!  Use the H specs to store binding directory and 
                stuff.  Less stuff to remember when compiling.  Beats the
comment section I used to have 
                'Compile instructions'.  If you do this you'll then be more
efficient to use 14.

                Hi,
                I like to know the advantages/disadvantages of creating a
Bound RPGLE program or two step (Module and PGM) when there is a CALLB for a
module which is in a Service program.  The Service program is added to a
Binding directory.

                I have created the object by using option '14' from
WRKMBRPDM by assigning a named Activation group and the name of the Binding
directory, where the Service program is defined.  This way I have generated
only one object.

                My colleague advises me to create the program as a Module
first, and then use option '26' to create the program from WRKOBJPDM.
Instead of specifying the Binding directory, the Service program name is to
be specified in the create prompt. 

                I am not sure whether both the processes serve the same
purpose or specifying the Service program has advantages over the Binding
directory.

                Your comments are appreciated.

                Robert
