RE: making changes in service programs visible to caller without rebi nding

Thanks to every one who responded.  It seems to me that it was an activation
group issue, although I'm not sure.  I was playing with a simple program
that passed a character to a simple service program that changed the
character value.

When I called the program in the sign on (job) I created the new version of
the service program in, it returned the old value.  When I called the
program from a different job (my sign on, same libl etc.) it returned the
new value.  I'll look at it tomorrow when I'm more wide awake.  I'm feeling
more sympathy for the end users who've told me "I didn't do anything
differently." <g>
