Re: Security Routines - bind by copy? (wasRE: Questionabout serviceprograms)

But even if a program hard-codes the library name (instead of *LBIL)

You could even rename the existing srvpgm, put your own code in it's
place, and have your code call the original one.

Replacing or renaming an existing object is probably harder than putting a new object higher on the library list. One would assume the existing object is secured so it can't be changed in a production environment. Creating a new object and putting it higher on the library list isn't going to be nearly has hard.
