I am wondering.  Has anyone had problems with creating multiple PGMEXP's
within a binder source?  I am looking at it from the direction of
continually adding SP's to a module and constantly having to change the
binder source.  If the PGMEXP's get to great in numbers is it hectic trying
to maintain?  Is there a utility out there to tell you if a *PRV version of
the PGMEXP is no longer in use so you could wax it and make the source more
maintainable?

How do other languages like C/C++, and Java handle this stuff since they
seem to be more on the basis of OO programming?
Example below:

STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*CURRENT)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_OPEN)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_READ)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_READP)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_CLOSE)
ENDPGMEXP
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*PRV)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_OPEN)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_READ)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_CLOSE)
ENDPGMEXP
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*PRV)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_OPEN)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_READ)
ENDPGMEXP
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*PRV)
     EXPORT SYMBOL(RNF_OPEN)
ENDPGMEXP
