Hi, John:
If you have a *MODULE that contains one or more procedures that are used
in only one bound ILE *PGM, then it probably "makes sense" to just bind
that *MODULE directly into that *PGM (bind by copy).
If two or more ILE *PGMs use any of the procedures in that *MODULE, then
it probably "makes sense" to create a *SRVPGM, and add that *SRVPGM to a
binding directory (*BNDDIR) and use that binding directory when you
create the ILE *PGMs, so those *PGMs will "bind by reference" to any
needed *SRVPGMs.
This is a "good thing" from a maintenance point of view, because, when
you eventually have to modify that *MODULE (to fix a problem or add new
features), you need only recreate the one place where it is bound --
either a single ILE *PGM or a single *SRVPGM. You can even do this
using UPDPGM or UPDSRVPGM.
Does that help?
