Yes, to compound things, this imaginary project does have design issues, and
it's already past due and well over budget ;-)

I wish you were correct Martin, but for the case Mark suggested, that I
outlined, were you use the MODULE parm of the CRTPGM,  **all** the modules
listed on that parm are bound into the resultant program object, even if as
I said before, they are never used (go try it for proof).

You are correct however, if you list your modules in a BNDDIR, then only the
ones needed are bound in to the program object. But that doesn't solve the
issue of determining which duplicate export to use...
