Re: Program calling service program fails to compile due to binding error

I am attempting to refamiliarize myself with creating service programs from

and copied all the source code verbatim into a new test library's
QRPGLESRC.

When I attempt to compile the test program that calls the service program,
the compile listing shows zero errors but "Errors were found during the
binding step. See the job log for more information." The job log shows:
CPD5D1D *SRVPGM object QZDMMDTA in library QSOC not found.
CPD5D02 Definition not found for symbol 'ADD'.
CPD5D02 Definition not found for symbol 'DIVIDE'.
CPD5D02 Definition not found for symbol 'MULTIPLY'.
CPD5D02 Definition not found for symbol 'SUBSTRACT'.
RNS9301 Program MATHTEST in library TESTMATHSP not created.

​Check the MATHTEST sourece, do you have the first line...
h option(*nodebugio) bnddir('MATHDIR') ​

I have no idea what QZDMMDTA has to do with anything. Object

QZDMMDTA does
not exist on my system, nor does library

QSOC.

​Don't worry about it...the compiler tries to include a default set of IBM
supplied binding directories

QSOC is OptiConnect.

It is interesting to note that, following the CRTSRVPGM command, CPD5CDC
was issued:
Message . . . . : TESTMATHSP/QRPGLESRC.MATHBNDSRC line 1: ********
Signature padded to
'MYMATH'
Cause . . . . . : The signature of an export block has been padded to
'MYMATH'. This warning occurred while compiling line 1 of binder language
source MATHBNDSRC in file QRPGLESRC in library TESTMATHSP while attempting
to create service program MATH in library TESTMATHSP.
Recovery . . . : No recovery required. The padded signature will be
used to create the service program.

I have no idea if that impacted the compile of the MATHTEST program.

Ideas appreciated!

​Again, don't worry about it. Signatures are always 32(?) characters...​
