RE: Binding question...

["Bob Cozzi \(RPGIV\)" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

No you do not have them correct.

There is:

Dynamic Binding, which is what we do "today" and "yesterday" with the
CALL operation. That is a program-to-program call is considered "Dynamic
Binding".
Whereas a call to a procedure (for lack of a better word) is a bound
call, referred to as "Static Binding".

Within the Bound Call, you have bind by reference and bind by copy as
you put it. Bind by reference is a Bound call to a procedure in a
service program--to a procedure that is not physically copied into the
executable (be it a program or service program).

Bind by copy is when the procedure you are doing a bound call to a
procedure in a module that has been copied into the executable (program
or service program).

Hope this helps.
