What it
_should_ do (IMHO) is reactivate the *SRVPGM, and use a new pointer...
but it makes no attempt to do that, it just tries to call the old
pointer, and fails:

I think the problem with this Scott is that it would require that a test be made of the pointer before each and every usage of it and then re-resolving if needed. Otherwise how could it know that the Service Program has gone bye-byes? Doing that would kinda fly in the face of what these bound calls were designed to do though - namely be as fast as possible with the kind of checking done on dynamic calls stripped away.

Not sure how much it would "cost" or if the problem occurs frequently enough to warrant such a change.

Could it be implemented manually? I haven't time to check but if there is a surfaced MI instruction that can check the validity of a procedure pointer, then if you used a procedure pointer for the calls - it could be tested and re-resolved using the APIs when needed.

As you, I and Larry have all said though - the error should never have reached the point where it destroys the AG anyway.
