Re: Initial procedure in a service program

Hello Niels,

Am 30.09.2022 um 22:16 schrieb Niels Liisberg <nli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Is it possible to have a specific procedure called in a service program when it is loaded? Similar to a *INZSR in a good old RPG program.

As far as I'm aware from the ILE manuals: No. I've understood service programs to merely be an "external" collection of functions/routines, very much akin to shared library files on Linux. As such, there is no "open" of a service program and in turn no implicit *INZSR.

I need to initialize some CCSID specific tables when the service program is loaded - Is that possible?

No. You can put the initialization code into a service program function, but your code still has to call that function so it is run.

:wq! PoC
