RE: Exported/imported variables

You can EXPORT from a SERVICE PROGRAM and IMPORT to a PROGRAM, but not the
other way around. 
And in V4R4 or R5 IBM  "broke" this capability by requiring the SERVICE
PROGRAM to run in ACTGRP(*CALLER).

Subject: Exported/imported variables

I know how to export and import variables across modules (which are either 
explicitly or implicitly bound).

I'd like to to share values with a service program.  Yes, I know that's what

parameters lists are for, and no, it doesn't make sense for such a 
capability to exist.  Yes, I could bite the bullet and use CALLB, and no, it

wouldn't kill me if I did.  But I'm asking, just in case I've missed 
something, because the service program in question will be used in many 
programs and will be changed regularly.

Thanks...
