Re: help with binding directories

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Binding directories and Binder source don't really have anything to do with
each other. The Binding Directories are there so you modules can find
requisite modules/SPs at compile time. Binder source is for run-time. You
need to use binder source for your service programs so that you programs
know which version of the SP to use.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Ok, I need to figure this stuff out.  I have a binding directory that
contains several service programs.  Several programs are linked against
the service programs in this binding directory.  I need to update some
of the service programs in the binding directory.  When I do, the linked
programs error with a message that says something like "signature
violation".  I've read the IBM docs on binder source (which is what I
think I need) but so far it isn't sinking in.  Will someone tell me what
to do so that I can update the service programs in the binding directory
without having to recompile every program that uses them?
