The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
It's rather simple in a way. But saying that, it basically took a 2x2 to the side of my head to grasp it.
Rebinding all programs is one way.
Another way is to know these a few things.
1 - Service programs can have multiple signatures
DSPSRVPGM SRVPGM(...) DETAIL(*SIGNATURE)
2 - You can set those signatures with "binder language". Binder language has three commands only: STRPGMEXP, EXPORT and ENDPGMEXP. The STRPGMEXP has the signature in it. That binder source can have multiple signatures. Example:
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*CURRENT) LVLCHK(*YES) SIGNATURE(*GEN)
EXPORT SYMBOL("...")
...
ENDPGMEXP
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*PRV) LVLCHK(*YES) SIGNATURE(*GEN)
EXPORT SYMBOL("...")
...
ENDPGMEXP
Instead of *GEN you could use some version number or something. For example, the version of software you're releasing. (If you're a vendor).
You can see this signature in the programs which use this service program with
DSPPGM PGM(...) DETAIL(*SRVPGM)

Like, what programs are using this service program? And what signature are they using?
