Service programs can do the same thing -- though it's a little more complex. I've used service programs as well.

But I don't know why you said they'd be "better". Remember, signature checking isn't going to be done, since the service program library/name isn't known at compile/bind time. So what does using a service program gain you?

Using a *PGM means you don't have to resolve a system pointer (using MI builtins) and call the QleActBndPgm/QleGetExp APIs. Other than eliminating that bit of extra code, the work is the same...
