RE: More SRVPGM basics

In my humble opinion your colleagues are sort of right (ils avont raison une peut.... if I'm not mistaken).

The actual situation as I understand it is that the module in the service program is bound to the program at the last moment (program start). In that regard they are right, this can be compared to dynamic calls. They are not completely right though: in the above situation the binding is done at program start and will not be modified during the running of the program (as true dynamic calls are bound, or rather resolved, at every usage).

But then again, I might be mistaken...

Hi,

Now that I've begun experimenting with SRVPGM's, I'm having difficulty
explaining the difference between bind by copy and bind by reference.
As my new module is now bound into a SRVPGM, I believe it to be bound
by reference. Before, I'd have just added the module to the program's
BNDDIR and it would have been bound by copy.

Right?

Aha ! So you've gone back to using dynamic calls, say my colleagues !

Sacré bleu, can anyone help out with a simple explanation. Bearing in
mind that I'll have to translate it to French afterwards.
