I did not know that.  if export(*ALL) is used you dont need the
binding source. That simplifies things a bit.   When adding a new
procedure, simply use the 3300 CPW of your new i5 to recreate all your
service programs and programs.

you have to add the new exports to the end of your binding source.
Which screws up your attempt to use your binding source member as a
handy service program reference sheet.
