Suppose I wish to create a *SRVPGM using the Binder Language to define
the procedure exports. Suppose also I wish to use a *BNDDIR to specify
the list of *MODULES to search for these exports.

QUESTION: Why then must the CRTSRVPGM command still have the MODULE
parameter explicitly defined? In other words, why does (at least) one
*MODULE have to be specified explicitly on the command. (The default is
MODULE(*SRVPGM).) The Binder Language will specify the export symbol
table and thus determine other *MODULES that are required from the
*BNDDIR (and hence any other *SRVPGMs/*MODULEs) to complete the bind.

All I can think of is that it allows an exceptional situation where you
want to add one *MODULE to /this/ service program, but no others. The
'stock' *BNDDIR works for almost every situation but this one.

Perhaps an RFE is in order to change the default MODULE()?
