Re: Serviceprogram and BNDDIR Parameter

What is the advantage to this?  If I have to maintain a separate binding
directory for each program then I might as well list the modules on the
create command -- especially for service programs.  I am presuming that
the create command is defined once in a change management tool thus no
advantage to using a binding directory per program when I could as easily
have a build script per program.

The only advantage I can see would be if I did not use a build tool.  If I
am using ILE and do not use a build tool then I would be an idiot.  Even a
simple build 'tool' such as a CL program containing the appropriate CRTxxx
command would be better than nothing.

Simon Coulter.
