Re: CRTSRVPGM

Mihael,

there are very few cases binder language might be usefull:
- binding multiple modules to one SRVPGM
- delivering SRVPGM Libraries
less compile work or using 3rd party SRVPGMS is no reason to use binder language!

but the above conditions don't match to so many people and most usage of binder language is nonsens and is not the medicine, but the illness!

Dieter

I don't agree with binder source beeing unnessecary. It is quite the contrary.

We got a change management system which manages our code but the 3rd party libraries are not managed by the cms. So how do you make an easy recompile of all dependent programs when a new version of a 3rd party service program comes in?

Simple and stable: that is binder source for me. What is more simple than just NOT having to recompile everything.

Without 3rd party service programs and a change management system it is probably easy/easiest to just recompile everything but that situation is not always the case.

(as always we disagree on this topic =)

Best regards

Mihael

from the programmer perspective, it's highly efiicient to keep it simple and
stable !!!
Binder language seems to me to be one of the unnecessary annoying joke
features like /free /end-free (what the hell should it be else with a blank
in column 6), eval (there comes an assignment afterwards!), callp (there
comes a function call afterwards), semicolons within statements (preventing
from nesting an assignment in a condition)...

That may not be the most efficient way but it seems to me to be the
simplest (Yes, I realise that with multiple modules, private procedures
will be rendered public). I'm sure we'll have some opposing views in a
couple of hours from now ;-)
