RE: Change service program info for program

With RPG xTools I use *LIBL, but some customers do not want to change their
library list(s) to include the XTOOLS library. Why? Because they probably
have CL that sets the library list to a specific set of library names, some
may be hard coded; so changing that code would be problematic. I tell my
customers if they want to qualify the library name to the XTOOLS service
program, to use an alternate set of binding directories (with qualified
names instead of *LIBL) when compiling their RPG IV code.

Playing Devil's advocate today...

Why hardcode to a specific library??  Just ensure that the library
containing the service program is placed in the library list where it
should be...

P.s. not knocking the question...just curious...


Thanks,

Try UPDPGM and specify the qualified service program name there. It may
change it. A binding directory with a qualified SRVPGM name is where to
do it on a compile.

Let's say I have PGMA that is compiled to use SRVPGM1, but it's
specified to use the *LIBL to find it.

Is there a way to change this to specify a specific library where it
should find SRVPGM1, or does that require a recompile?

Thanks!
