Re: Change service program info for program -- RPG400-L

I just dug and little deeper and found that there is another parameteron the UPDPGM command, SRVPGMLIB. It "Specifies the library name usedto resolve to currently bound service programs. A value other than*SAME for this parameter can be specified if the program attributeALWLIBUPD is *YES."

When I tried to use SRVPGMLIB to change my program's service program'slibrary, UPDPGM failed with CPF5CA7, saying "SRVPGMLIB must be *SAMEwhen ALWLIBUPD is *NO."

On CRTPGM, there are two parameters that relate to this. They are,with their defaults:


Allow update . . . . . . . . . . ALWUPD         *YES
Allow *SRVPGM library update . . ALWLIBUPD      *NO

Unfortunately, CRTBNDRPG, which I use, does not have either of theseparameters and apparently uses the defaults. DSPPGM for my programscreated with CRTBNDRPG show this:


Allow update . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *YES
Allow bound *SRVPGM library name update  . . . :   *NO

So, if you use CRTPGM, you can specify ALWLIBUPD(*YES) and useUPDPGM's SRVPGMLIB to change the bound service program's library.

If you use CRTBNDRPG, you need to run CRTBNDRPG again with the desiredservice program name and library.

Thanks, Mel.

I tried this, but when I do a DSPPGM it still shows *LIBL
for the service program in question even though I specify
the library.

I may try changing my binding dir temporarily to see if
that helps.

Try the BNDSRVPGM parameter of the UPDPGM command.
Specify *NONE for the MODULE parameter if you don't wish
to make any module changes.

Let's say I have PGMA that is compiled to use SRVPGM1,

but

it's specified to use the *LIBL to find it.

Is there a way to change this to specify a specific


library

where it should find SRVPGM1, or does that require a
recompile?

Thanks!
