Hi Charles

Nothing obvious that I know of. I ran DSPPGM against a program that uses
a handler of mine, no mention of anything, not even the service program
that is specified on the HANDLER keyword.

I also tried DSPPGMREF - again, nothing said about whatever the HANDLER
keyword says.

That might be an interesting RFE - perhaps in DSPPGMREF - the service
program (or other item specified in the HANDLER keyword) is not really
bound to the program, at least not as it might be, to my knowledge.

No RFE is needed for this ...

There was a recent APAR, SE65524, that complained about the HANDLER program not being in DSPPGMREF.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas2SE65524

With the PTFs for that APAR, the handler program or service program is added to DSPPGMREF if the HANDLER parameter is a character literal:

7.1 TGTRLS(*CURRENT): PTF SI62953
7.2 TGTRLS(*CURRENT): PTF SI62955
7.3 TGTRLS(*CURRENT): PTF SI62957
7.3 TGTRLS(*PRV): PTF SI62965

There are no PTFs for the other target-release compilers yet.
