RE: Best way of using Service programs

 >> In practice, you don't get a signature violation if you assign your own
signatures.  Once you supply the signature, if don't always add the exports
to the end of the list ( which is counter intuitive ) you are in for a lot
of trouble. 

Intuition shouldn't come into it.  When you say "I control the signature"
you assuming responsibility for making things match.  It is fundamentally
the same situation as a level check on a file.  You can turn it off but
you'd better make sure that you add new fields to the end of the record.  SO
in as much as S/38, AS/400, iSeries, and i5 folks have been doing that for
years perhaps it is indeed a lot more intuitive than you think <grin>
