Re: Service Programs / Binding Directories / *DUPPROC

I'm not really sure why there is a distinction between a Program or a
Service Program using a Binding Directory to locate procedures?

I've always used things like message handling service programs both in
Program and in Service Programs. So both object types need access to
binding directories

We just don't include the binding directories when creating service
programs. Those are only used for program creations. Just plan simpler to
manage. I don't think you should be guessing at which function you want
used by your service program.

Subject: Service Programs / Binding Directories / *DUPPROC

Hi All,

Having worked so long, using particular standards at a couple of sites, I
find myself going back to re-address some of the ways things were set up so
many years ago...

When recreating Service Programs which reference binding directories in
which the Service Program already exists...

You get the error: "Definition supplied multiple times for..." because the
same subprocedures exist in the module for the service program you are
recreating and in the Service Program itself referenced in the binding
directory.

It seemed to me that there were two ways to solve this problem:

1. Take the Service Program out of the binding directory while you
re-create it, then put it back.
2. Specify Option(*DupProc) on the Create Command.

I always chose the latter of these, but neither seems ideal.

Am I missing something obvious? Has anyone got a better solution?

Thanks and regards as always,
Craig
