Thanks for your reply Rob
You are correct - I cannot see the reason why a signature change did in fact happen

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: What could cause a signature violation?
Have you looked at binder level language to help with this? It's really so incredibly simple you may find it hard to grasp as nothing can be that simple, right? After attending multiple sessions at COMMON and getting a redbook signed by Jon Paris with "I thought you knew this stuff" it finally sunk in how simple it was. Although I did see some post from someone who felt that binder language is the tool of the devil and one should do what you did.
But I think your question was why did it generate a new signature when, in your belief, your changes should not have affected the hashing algorithm used to generate the signature. That's a little deeper dive than I'm interested in on a Monday morning.

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
We have a service program that has 6 procedures
Last Friday, I had to make a change to one of the procedures - and that change was to insert one line of code into one procedure
Just to populate a field
Now - every program that uses those 6 procedures had a Program signature violation - MCH4431
As this is a relatively new service program - that number of programs involved is relatively small
So I just recompiled them - yes - I know I could have used UPDPGM
They are now working as expected
The binding program specifies a signature as well as the 6 procedures - in order
I am scratching my head as to why a signature violation happened
Any one any ideas as to what I can look at?
