If you want to use UPDSRVPGM, try creating a new object type that uses
that command in the If you want to use UPDSRVPGM, try creating a new
object type that uses that command in the 'Work with type code
definitions.'  The only problem that I can see that you will have and I
think it is minor, is that you will have to modify option 36 each time
you use it for the first time to designate the Service Program. Other
than that you should not have any problems.

subject: 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.
