Re: Global variables in a Service Program

You might want to look at conditional compilation - define and test.

There will not be an issue when all three service programs are bound to 
one. Unless, maybe, you are EXPORTing them all. In that case, the use of 
Export on a variable should be only used with great care and forethought.

Global variables in a Service Program 






Quick question. I've got some variables and constants that I'd like to 
make global but I'm concerned about scope. Basically, I have three 
service programs that all use a couple of the same fields, i.e. errMsg, 
cmdLen, myCmd, etc.. Do I put them at the top of each svcpgm module or in 

a separate copybook? And would there be issues with duplicates when all 3 

svcpgms were bound into one rpgle pgm? 

Thanks,
