RE: Grrr... signature violation

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hate to beat a dead horse Mike, but did you in fact CRTSRVPGM after you
changed the module?  If so, you could have re-ordered the modules which
would create a different signature and lead to a signature violation.  With
Binder Source and UPDSRVPGM you would be able to avoid this in the future.
