Re: Re-creating Service Programs and Binding Directories

Your fears are confirmed.  It is the nature of the beast.

My personal approach is to think in terms of building a service program 
and then using it.  During the building, I tend to use a (unique) binding 
directory to tell me how to build.  I tend to use a different binding 
directory for locating the service program when using it.

Hope this helps,
Wayne

Re-creating Service Programs and Binding Directories






I have searched the archive and infocenter and have not come up with a 
good
answer.

Our set-up of Turnover does not allow the use of UPDSRVPGM.

I am re-creating a service program (CRTSRVPGM), which alredy exists in the
binding directory. The binder is finding the exports for the existing
functions in both the modules listed on the CRTSRVPGM command and in the
existing service program (found in the binding directory), which results 
in
"multiple strong definitions". I know I can get around this by using 
DUPPROC
and/or DUPVAR (which I have done previously), but this does not seem
"correct" to me. Why would the binder examine the service program that is
going to be replaced for exports which will not exist?

My hope is that we are missing a PTF, my fear is that this is the nature 
of
the beast.
