Message . . . . : Service program PRICESRV not found in library JKLIB.

The second-level text of that message is fairly clear:

Cause . . . . . : Service program &1 can not be found in library &2. When
processing an update request, the bound service programs are searched for in
their original libraries. If they are not found, the update command could
fail.

The original library will be used even if the binding directory specified *LIBL. The compiled object (*PGM or *SRVPGM) tracks the library in which an object used to resolve external references was found.

Since you neglected to show the command you use to perform the update I presume it is:

UPDSRVPGM ORDERSRV MODULE(repl-mod)

I expect that binding to external objects on an update operation is necessary only if new unresolved references are found you may be able to resolve the issue by specifying the additional service program on the update command. For example:

UPDSRVPGM ORDERSRV MODULE(repl-mod) BNDSRVPGM(*LIBL/PRICESRV)

or perhaps:

UPDSRVPGM ORDERSRV MODULE(repl-mod) BNDDIR(bind-dir)

I'm not sure if this will work-around the problem. The error message is quite specific that an update operation will use the original object library.
