I compile using option 14(Compile)

NOTE: I suggest CRTBNDxxx commands (PDM Option 14.) be reserved for non-ILE compile/bind.

May I offer a differing opinion? In my company, the vast majority of activity takes place in programs, not service programs. And so I prefer that when someone takes PDM option 14 on a source member, they end up with a compiled, running program, just as they expect.

Putting one's service programs in a binding directory, and noting that on the H spec results in a clean compile using PDM option 14. There's nothing wrong creating modules (CRTxxxMOD) and then running CRT/UPDPGM over them, especially if you have a MAKE-like tool that lets you seamlessly recreate the final program automatically.

It's just my personal preference to automate as much of these steps as possible, and PDM option 14 -> running program is so intuitive to most System i programmers that it seems a shame to ignore that capability.

That generally leaves one with a separate development path for service programs vs programs. And that might be off-putting for some companies. I prefer to optimise for the activity that's most common, that's all.
