The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
In regard to the idea of creating the source as a separate module and then binding it in, the idea is that it would only ever be bound into that single program. Like Buck, I wouldn't recommend creating a module that would be shared with multiple programs. That's what service programs are for.

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.
