Re: Adding to a Service Program

It all depends on how it was created... with binder language or not. Do
you know if that's the case?

If it was created using Binder Language, then you can create a new set of
bindings with a new signature, and the programs that aren't recompiled will
continue to use the old signature.

Example:

First you had:

STRPGMEXP SIGNATURE('v1.0')
EXPORT SYMBOL(proc1)
EXPORT SYMBOL(proc2)
ENDPGMEXP

Now you create proc3 and change your binder language to:

STRPGMEXP SIGNATURE('v2.0')
EXPORT SYMBOL(proc1)
EXPORT SYMBOL(proc2)
EXPORT SYMBOL(proc3)
ENDPGMEXP

STRPGMEXP SIGNATURE('v1.0') PGMLVL(*PRV)
EXPORT SYMBOL(proc1)
EXPORT SYMBOL(proc2)
ENDPGMEXP

Any program compiled will use the new signature, and old ones will use the
old one.

But, if you created your service program using EXPORT(*ALL) then you may
have issues and now would be a good time to learn how to use binder
language.

I'm a newbie to service programs. If I have an existing service program
that is in use, how do I add a new module to it? Do I have to rebuild it
from scratch? If so, does that mean that I have to rebind all current
programs that are using the service program?
