They are generated when you create the service program. The signature
(as Jon has mentioned a couple times) is based strictly on the names and
order of the exports in the particular export.

There are other exports and there are differences between *CURRENT and
*PRV but they are about 10 years old. I only posted the top two exports
because it is the SCGETNVP that is begin called.
So, backing up a step, we use auto generated signatures. Where does
*PRV get the old signatures?

Are you saying every time we make a change that affects the signature
we have to display the current service program to find its signature
and
hard
code it in the source?
Possibly not. We just don't use a generated signature. We code
our own signature for the *CURRENT level so we always know what to put
in the *PRV levels. It is possible that if you actually had a different
number of exported procedures in your *CURRENT export list that your
service program would retain the generated signature for the *PRV export
list. What I think is happening to you is that the generated signature
for both export lists match so only one signature is being retained.
But, I'm not sure because we have never used generated signatures.
Sincerely,
Dave Clark
