Re: External procedure call returns a value. Does it need to be a service program?

Without knowing the full story, I can't really recommend an approach, however I will tell you that I pretty much never create a program that provides a 'service' to another program.

Seconded.

Additionally, I never (and I mean not even once) create a module to bind
by copy for a *PGM. If the code will remotely need to be used
elsewhere, it goes into a service program. If not, it goes directly
into the source of the *PGM that will consume it.
