I believe that you can still just go ahead and change the names. Existing programs will not be affected. You do need to change the names in the binding source as well, but do not reorder the export names. You won't have to adjust anything in existing programs until you recompile them (at that time you will have to have the correct names though since the recompile will perform a bind step). If you want to create a new signature in your service program based on the new names, you can change your *CURRENT to *PRV, and add a new current with the new names, and then rebuild your service program. You still cannot re-order your exports, and you still will have to change the names in your programs next time you compile, for the same reasons, but it will still work because the existing programs know where to find the service program, and which slot the sub-procedures are in, and that is where the program will look. It will not look for the old name again until recompile time. The only thing using *CURRENT and *PRV in your binder source gives you is a history of your binder source changes. You still can't reorder or remove exports without causing a complete recompile of everything that uses the service program.

I use only *CURENT and *PRV in the binding dir but have a lot
of *PRV for each version.

But if it is only a numbered list it should be ok to change the name :-)

Actually, you can change the names and not recompile existing programs.

The name is only used during program binding. Once the program is created,
the procedure is called via number. Thus the reason it's important not to
change the export order.

This assumes you have binder source and a hard coded signature.

If you don't already have them, you'll have have to create one that matches
the existing object, then modify it.

I have been so stupid to use som procedure names as
they are used in examples on the net.

The procedures are the C procedures for teraspace
memory allocations TS_Malloc, TS_Calloc, TS_Realloc
and TS_Free that calls the _C_TS_xxxxx procedures.

Now these subprocedures interfers with other service
programs that I have no controle of.

Is there any smart way to rename the sub-procedures
without loosing the old exported procedures names in the
previous binding directories so old programs doesn't have
to be recompiled unless they uses the subprocedures?
