RE: Function Opinion

Yes, good point, I forgot to mention that I wrote a program that makes
updating a binding directory possible.

I thought the definition of a service program was something like what I read
in an article on Midrange Programmer by Kevin Vandever : "A service program
is a collection of subprocedures that perform a set of services. "  What is
the purpose of having one procedure in a service program?  Why not just use
a copybook and /COPY statements?
It seems to me that your maintenance of binding directories (one per
program) would out-weigh the convenience of only using one procedure per
service program.

JMHO,
