You're not missing something, it should have worked.

Which means what you think you did isn't what you actually did.

Either, an older version of the module was bound into the service program
(use DSPSRVPGM to see)
or the program does actually have the module bound in instead of calling the
procedure out of the service program (use DSPPGM to see).

Otherwise, perhaps your logic change is in error.
