But, *BNDDIRs are one of the mechanisms (IMHO) that help enable "information hiding" which is one of the attributes of abstraction.I think so, didn't think of that, thanks. It seems like one could imagine such scenarios. And I think I have enough of view on it now.
If you were to think in terms of *SRVPGMs which reference *SRVPGMs which reference other *SRVPGMs, you begin to get the idea that some "level 3" *SRVPGMs should not be referenced directly by "level 1" objects. In that case, there is no reason to include the "level 3" *SRVPGMs in a "level 1" *BNDDIR.
*BNDDIRs then begin to provide a mechanism similar to "packages" in Java.
Does that make any sense to anybody? <grin>

What a lot of people will do to make things even simpler is put *ALL*service programs in a single binding directory, and include that BNDDIR() in every program that they write. Then you never have to worry about it.
