Re: Service Programs / Binding Directories / *DUPPROC

Craig,

I also found this situation frustrating. It would be nice if there was some sort of default and maybe a *BNDDIR designation as to priority. Normally I would want the program to reference the *SRVPGM export.

I just have separate binding directories for the service program and programs referencing the service program. That solves the problem nicely.

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
