IMO, before using service programs, you need to get your hands around the concept of activation groups. Once you do that, using service programs will be easy. At that point, it's up to you how you wish to organize your code in service programs.
While I think activation groups are important, in general I would not
put understanding AGs higher in priority than subprocedures. When I've
taught RPG IV / ILE, I've started with subprocedures inside a regular
*PGM and compiled it using a named activation group; typically QILE or
the company name.
I'm not saying AGs are unimportant; all the ILE features are intertwined
to some extent. Just that a brand newcomer might want to become
proficient with subprocedures as a very first step, then move on to
service programs.
