Rob,

It sounds like the new procedure that you're adding is declared as an
export. This changes the signature of the service program because it affects
the public interface. You'll save yourself a whole lot of time if you can
invest about 20 minutes to read about the Binder Language. It is extremely
simple to learn and use. You can have a look at the following link:
