Re: Change service program info for program

[Mel Rothman <mel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just dug and little deeper and found that there is another parameter 
on the UPDPGM command, SRVPGMLIB.  It "Specifies the library name used 
to resolve to currently bound service programs.  A value other than 
*SAME for this parameter can be specified if the program attribute 
ALWLIBUPD is *YES."

When I tried to use SRVPGMLIB to change my program's service program's 
library, UPDPGM failed with CPF5CA7, saying "SRVPGMLIB must be *SAME 
when ALWLIBUPD is *NO."

On CRTPGM, there are two parameters that relate to this. They are, 
with their defaults:

Allow update . . . . . . . . . . ALWUPD         *YES
Allow *SRVPGM library update . . ALWLIBUPD      *NO

Unfortunately, CRTBNDRPG, which I use, does not have either of these 
parameters and apparently uses the defaults. DSPPGM for my programs 
created with CRTBNDRPG show this:

Allow update . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *YES
Allow bound *SRVPGM library name update  . . . :   *NO

So, if you use CRTPGM, you can specify ALWLIBUPD(*YES) and use 
UPDPGM's SRVPGMLIB to change the bound service program's library.

If you use CRTBNDRPG, you need to run CRTBNDRPG again with the desired 
service program name and library.
