Re: Service programs and QSRVSRC

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Similar practice here - for me, anyhow - and if I really need to add 
exported procedures, just list them at the end of the source I have already.

As to hard-coded signatures, IBM often use the service program name - 
you can't tell it by looking, unless you know your EBCDIC really well, 
because the signature is shown as the character representation of the 
hexadecimal of the signature you specify.

Each service program will likely be unique, with some assumptions made, 
so the signature will be, as well.
