RE: Binder language: RTVBNDSRC alphabetically

Let me rephrase this to see if I have it right.
My RPG service program source might have the following 
procedures, grouped by function:
AddDays
DateEdit
DayOfWeek
DayNameL
DayNameS
DaysDiff
CompanyName
Center40
ExecCmd
StrNetSvrP
CheckPrf

My binder language has:
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*CURRENT) LVLCHK(*YES) SIGNATURE(*GEN)
  EXPORT SYMBOL("ADDDAYS")                             
  EXPORT SYMBOL("CENTER40")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("CHECKPRF")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("COMPANYNAME")                         
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DATEEDIT")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYNAMEL")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYNAMES")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYOFWEEK")                           
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYSDIFF")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("EXECCMD")                         
  EXPORT SYMBOL("STRNETSVRP")                      
ENDPGMEXP                                          
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*PRV) LVLCHK(*YES) SIGNATURE(*GEN)

Now, let's say I add a procedure.  I could add it anywhere 
in my service program source, in between existing subprocedures 
or whatever.  My new binder language would look like:
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*CURRENT) LVLCHK(*YES) SIGNATURE(*GEN)
  EXPORT SYMBOL("ADDDAYS")                             
  EXPORT SYMBOL("CENTER40")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("CHECKPRF")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("COMPANYNAME")                         
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DATEEDIT")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYNAMEL")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYNAMES")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYOFWEEK")                           
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYSDIFF")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("EXECCMD")                         
  EXPORT SYMBOL("STRNETSVRP")                      
  EXPORT SYMBOL("RUNCMDAPI")                       
ENDPGMEXP                                          
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*PRV) LVLCHK(*YES) SIGNATURE(*GEN)
  EXPORT SYMBOL("ADDDAYS")                             
  EXPORT SYMBOL("CENTER40")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("CHECKPRF")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("COMPANYNAME")                         
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DATEEDIT")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYNAMEL")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYNAMES")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYOFWEEK")                           
  EXPORT SYMBOL("DAYSDIFF")                            
  EXPORT SYMBOL("EXECCMD")                         
  EXPORT SYMBOL("STRNETSVRP")                      
ENDPGMEXP                                          

Is this right?

Rob,

The binder source does not have to be in the same order as the procedures
appear in the service program, in fact I prefer them alphabetical.  But,
when you add new procedures and have a *current and a *prv section do not
change the order of the procedures as they originally appeared and always
add the new procedures to the bottom of the list.  If you don't do this you
will have to either have to rebind all programs using the service program
or, worse yet, the programs will run but strange things will occur.
