Re: independent modules vs. service program.

Yes, Charles. That's one reason to use Modules over Service programs.

For most that are programming for a shop you can't go wrong with service
programs.

If you're an ISV modules make sense for things like license, proprietary
code, etc that you don't want the customer to be able to use outside of the
application.

The ILE Concepts manuals even says
"For ease of maintenance, include each module in only one program or
service program. If more than
one program needs to use a module, put the module in a service program.
That way, if you have to
redesign a module, you only have to redesign it in one place."

I've heard of a couple exceptions, code that handle licensing was one
example I think.
