RE: Service programs compiled incorrectly

This is in response to problem number two.

Try creating the RPGLE programs/service programs but not using the
create option of *DUPROC.  If it fails then you have two copies of the
same *module/service program in your library list.  This is not
necessary a good thing.  If you have the same procedure in two different
modules/service programs that you are trying to bind to then that is not
necessary a good thing and in my opinion is a bad practice.

The main issue of *DUPROC is that it winds up using the first occurrence
of the procedure from the *module/service program that it finds in your
library list which doesn't necessarily guarantee that the desired
version of the procedure was bound.

Subject: Service programs compiled incorrectly

   To the list,
   Problem 1)  By mistake, last week I re-created two heavily used
service
   programs with the parameters of EXPORT(*ALL).  Ever since, my
programs
   using the modules within the service program started erroring out. 
   I immediately re-created the service pgms using the Binder source
(which
   has a predefined signature) and re-compiled all the programs.  The
   programs are still erroring out.
    
   Question 1)  can anyone give me an idea where to look as to why they
might
   be bombing? 
    
    
   Problem 2)  The two service programs share a few of the modules. When
I
   create the RPGLE programs I use the creation option of *DUPPROC and
use
   the activation group *CALLER.  We are running in a MAPICS environment
   which, I believe, uses the QILE group.
    
   Question 2)  Could it be because I have some of the same modules in
two
   different service programs?
    
   TIA...
