Excellent point. Just a convenient way to group things together, I guess.
Have all the PR's and PI's in 1 place. There are lots of "related"
functions in the srvpgm. If some of them are big or may often require
updates that would not include parameter changes, I just separate them
out. For me it makes maintenance easier.

Certainly open to suggestions.

Hi Jim,

I'm not sure that I understand your scenario. Your caller calls a
*SRVPGM, and the *SRVPGM doesn't do anything except call a *PGM? (Is
that right?)

Why not call the *PGM directly?
