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?

Yes and no.

The module bound in to the service program is bind-by-copy in exactly t he same way as it would be if you bound it into your program object. Where bind-by-reference comes in is when your program binds to the service program.

The service program itself has a copy of the module. The program has a reference to the module via the service program.

Clear?
