Re: Processes after CRTSRVPGM

There are two reasons I dont like adding new procedures to the end of the binding source. The first is cosmetic. I use the binding source as a document for finding the procedure I am looking for. For

Um, seems to me that you're using binding source for entirely the wrong
reason. It's specific purpose is to allow you to specify the order that
procedures should be placed in the service program. Not documentation.


Most as400 programmers dont understand ILE and service programs. In a
shop where more than a single person adds procedures to a srvpgm, there is no protection that someone with a little knowledge will place the new export in its logical, alphabetical location in the binding source and CRTSRVPGM.

We put a standard header in our binding source with instructions where
to place new procedure and when the signature should be updated ...
we've *NEVER* had a problem.
