RE: CRTSRVPGM

I assume you left the parameters for EXPORT, SRCFILE and SRCMBR as their defaults on the CRTSRVPGM command.  So, the system was looking for a member with the same name as your module, in QSRVSRC, of type BND that contains binder language.

 

Binder language is used to tell the system which subprocedures to export from the module.  This error is saying "Hey, look here bud!  I didn't find any binder language!"

 

Two options.

 

1.  Change EXPORT to *ALL (not recommended, but it will work if you PROMISE to go back and use binder language for your real applications.)  This says "Ignore any binder language and just export all subprocedures from the module."

 

2.  Read up on binder language, signatures, and what all goes on here.  It is confusing at first, but luckily it' s one of those things that "clicks" once you get there. 

 

Email me privatly for a copy of a powerpoint presentation I have on ILE that I use when I am teaching it.  :)  It may help with your road to ILE.

Hello everybody,

 

I'm trying to create my first service program and am getting this compilation message:

 

     H NoMain                           
***ERROR Syntax not valid.              
***ERROR No 'current' export block      

 

Does anybody have an idea?
