Your description is fine.  Bear in mind that the run time requirements
should drive the service program activation group attribute.

I want to clearly state that the following is strictly my own opinion, and
may not represent best practise.  If you need more than 5 or 6 service

I haven't looked at it in ages, but there is a MAKE tool in IBM's QUSRTOOL.
It requires C, but if you're on V5 you are entitled to a no extra charge C
