Good point about EXPORT(*ALL).
I always list all the exports I want to keep. It's another "double entry" check on myself.

I do that all the time.
That doesn't appear to be the case, as I'm getting call errors on
programs that use it.
With EXPORT(*ALL) the system-generated signature may not match the last time the SRVPGM was created. Check the signatures (DSPPGM and
DSPSRVPGM) to see that they match. Assuming they don't, one way around this is to RTVBNDSRC and create your own signature for it - one that matched the one in DSPPGM. Re-create the service program and it will now export the signature already in use by the *PGM objects and you should be good to go.
If in the future you decide that's a really ugly signature, keep it as a *PRV block and make a new *CURRENT block with a more appealing one.
