The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

without CRTPGM PGM(LIBRARY/PROGRAM) MODULE(LIBRARY/PROGRAM
LIBRARY/MODULEA) or splitting each procedure into a uniquely named
module?
Thanks in advance for your input.
The compiler must be able to resolve the exported procedure. It can
do that in two ways:
1) by finding a module with that procedure EXPORTed
2) by finding a service program with that procedure listed in the
public interface
At some point you must tell the compiler where to search for the
modules and/or service programs. You do that by:
a) Specify the modules on the MODULE parameter and specify the
service programs on the BNDSRVPGM parameter of the CRTPGM command (or
equivalent)
--or--
b) Specify the modules and/or service programs in a binding
directory and specify the binding directory on the BNDDIR parameter
of the CRTPGM command (or equivalent)
--or--
c) Some combination of a) and b)
Most people opt to use binding directories for this purpose and that
sounds to me like what you're looking for. You do need to be careful
that a given procedure is not exported from both a module and service
program (or multiples thereof) listed in the same binding directory.
Usual solution for that is to have one *BNDDIR for modules used to
build service programs, and another *BNDDIR listing service programs
used to build programs and other service programs.
I don't understand why you think you would need a uniquely-named
module for each procedure.
There is plenty of information on binding techniques in the archives.
I suggest you research them because this topic has been covered
exhaustively.
