That is not true. if I do a DSPPGMREF on program P, it shows service
program S as a *SRVPGM.

Session A calls program P which executes service program S. If I delete

the

service program and then call P again in the same session, it continues

to

execute. If I then log off and back on and call program P, I get an

error

that service program S does not exist.

Understood. However, I wasn't saying there isn't a service
program. I was saying that the service program's module can get hardbound
to a calling RPG program such that you think you are calling a service
program when in fact you are calling a bound module. But, yes, you can do
a DSPPGM on the calling program and confirm that there is no bound module
for the service program. I also saw afterwards that the issue was an
activation group issue. Glad you got it figured out.
