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.
