Hi Jake,The closest comparison is: a program object is like a class file with a main() method; a service program is like a jar file containing classes with public static methods but no main().
A program object can be called from the command line or from another program (or even from a service program); it has one entry point (the main() method).
A service program has multiple entry points that can only be called from another (service) program.

I am a RPG newbie. So, here is a naive question. Are Service Programs same as Jar Files in Java, Or am I totally wrong? I create my .jar files as a conglomeration of several .class files and then just that in all my .java code. I am looking for a simple example to create a service program and use that service program in RPGLE source member. Thanks in advance, Jake.
