First of all, if I don't see you until then, HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!! I have learned volumes from this list in the past year, and I wanted to thank you all who have helped, especially Scott, Bob, Joe, Joel, Paul, Jon, Barbara, Birgitta, and anyone else I forgot to mention. May the new year bring you prosperity and peace of mind. I have created a service program, whose purpose is to log program start/stop times. The service program is called within several programs, and is fed an indicator (*ON = start, *OFF = stop). The program gets the name of the caller (thanks Scott for August info on this), and writes or updates a log entry for this program in a log file. I took the following steps in creating the service program: - Created the module (CRTRPGMOD) - Created the binder source (1 export) - Created the service program (CRTSRVPGM) - Added the service program to a binding directory I wrote a test program to test the service program out. In the test program, I added the binding directory to the H-spec, included the prototype for the service program in the D-spec, and simply called the service program in the C-spec. I found a small quirk in the service program's actions, so I changed the source for the service program (the signature did not change), recompiled the module, and deleted and re-created the service program. So here's the problem. After the service program re-compile, I re-ran the test program (without re-compiling it), and the service program still exhibited the same behavior. Until I re-compiled the test program, which then caused the new service program to exhibit the new behavior. Why did I have to re-compile the test program? When you compile a program that calls a service program, is a copy of the service program included in the program object (bind by copy)? -- "Enter any 11-digit prime number to continue..."
