Jim, you change the module containing RcvNetF (which should not be exported from the module), then you either redo the CRTSRVPGM or you do UPDSRVPGM. What do you mean by "bound library"? If you mean the binding directory, this is just a list of service programs and modules that might be needed at compile time. It isn't used again after the object is created. There's no such thing as linking service programs. They exist as separate entities. With service programs, you only need to recompile any callers if you change an interface, as long as you ensure the signature of the service program doesn't change. (I think you'll find some discussions of service program signatures in the archives of this list (check the Midrange list too), and it's also discussed in ILE Concepts. For sure you should never say EXPORT(*ALL) for service programs.) If you ever change a service program and your calling programs don't seem to pick up the change, end the activation group or sign off and sign back on.
