Re: Is there anyway to change a PI and not re-bind?

If I had a procedure in a service program and I wanted to add a parameter to it, is there any way to do so without re-binding all the programs that use that service program? I know if you change the interior logic you are fine but what if I made the new parameter *omit or *nopass? If it was optional would the older calling programs be all right? Or is that just wishful thinking? =)

It would work fine if you made the new parameter *NOPASS.

If you add a parameter option whose only effect is to get the RPG compiler to relax one of its rules, you don't need to do anything to the calling programs.

You mentioned re-binding all the programs. That would only be useful if your service program changed its signature. If you change the prototype for a procedure, you have to consider whether you need to _recompile_ all the callers.
