What OS release are you at?  I remember this sort of thing happening in
the early days of our ILE development, but I'm pretty sure IBM fixed it
in PTFs.  At the same time, we had to code some workarounds.

Basically ILE initially appeared to override the traditional library
list support; it used to be the case that if you moved a service program
to a different library, calls to client programs would fail, even
thought the library which now contained the service program was in the
library list.

Binding directories don't really affect this, as they are only used at
compile time, but they had a similar problem in that binding directory
entries had an explicit library name on them by default.  I think we
worked around that be generating our main binding directory
programmatically, and forcing each entry to contain *LIBL, thereby
giving us back *LIBL support at compile time.

If you are having this problem, then something else to watch out for,
that we had around the same time, is your programs binding to system
service programs that have been renamed by a temporarily-applied PTF.
No problem, until you permanently apply the PTF, or deploy on another
machine that doesn't have the renamed object.  The renamed objects will
be called things like QPZA123456.

HTH.  Cheers,

Martin.
