Re: Program binds to Serviceprogram in an fixed library instead of searching the LibraryList.

Joep,
 
We just do an CRTPGM where we define the Serviceprogram to be bound with as 
library *LIBL.
If the use of a Binding directory would solve this problem we will start using 
it.
 
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.

Eduard,

How do you bind the service programs to your programs? If you use binding 
directories, make sure the entries in the binding directory refer to *LIBL and 
not to a library.
