RE: Question on Binder Files for Service Programs

Alan and I are referring to two different methods of using the Binder Source. Either Hardcoded signatures or using the PRV/Current method. You can see the recent thread on service program signatures for a discussion about the two: http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/201302/msg00229.html

Sort of. Each time that you add new procedures, you make a copy of the current procedures in the binder source and rename it to *PRV. You then add your new procedures to the end and you will now have two signatures. If you do again, you will have three signatures.

I used the wrong term, sorry Alan. I will do 50 pushups for my
mistake :)

As a followup, I can add additional procedures without screwing up the
signature provided that I add them to the binder file, prototype file,
procedure source at the bottom, and never change the order of the
procedures.

am I correct in that understanding?

Not modules, procedures. Your modules should be exporting
procedures. You list in the binder only the procedures that you want
seen on the outside world.

When creating the binder file, if I'm understanding this part
correctly, the only modules that are listed are of course those
that will be "exported" or exposed for external use correct?
