You might want to read the following article. It is a good article on
procedure exports in general, and touches on the advantage of using hard
coded signatures. If you use a hard coded signature and always add
procedures to the end, it keeps things much simpler. Most service programs
can get by with a single signature if this technique is used. It has
become my preferred way of creating service programs.

I think that in order to use the binder source you will need to recompile
the service program without the Export All. I'm pretty sure that you'll
need to recompile all programs bound to the service program. I've never
been through this exact situation, but I think this would be the case. I
would probably recompile just to be safe... even though it could be quite
a pain.

Service programs and QSRVSRC
I've created this service program awhile ago without using the QSRVSRC, I
just told the compiler to export all. Well now, I'm adding new procedures
to the program and I was just wondering if I could now use the binding
source providing the new "current" interface and the previous and not have
to recompile the existing programs using the srvpgm? Or am I screwed
since
I didn't use the binding source on the first compile? FYI, I am going to
be
using binding sources for now on as now I see the benefit.
