Re: Service program not found error

Peter,

This deficiency was addressed by IBM with an enhancement to the ILE binder (CRTPGM, CRTSRVPGM, UPDPGM, UPDSRVPGM) in V6R1 with the addition of the *DEFER keyword ... on the SRVPGM parameter. So for example, you might specify:

    CRTPGM PGM(libname/HS0175R) MODULE(*LIBL/HS0175R) SRVPGM(*LIBL/HSSFR4 *DEFER)

The help text for *DEFER says:

Activation of the bound service program may be deferred until a
function it exports is called.


You could circumvent around this issue by "hard-coding" the library name, even on V5R4 and earlier, e.g.:

    CRTPGM PGM(libname/HS0175R) MODULE(*LIBL/HS0175R) SRVPGM(HSSFR4/HSSFR4)

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

So it's some part of HS0175R that occurs prior to *INZSR and any debuggable statements, and not QCMDEXC.  Thanks for the insight.

Either way, the required solution is to set the library list correctly before calling HS0175R, which requires another program.

QCMDEXC doesn't look at any references. Only when HS0175R is called is the service program solution done.  It will occur during the program's startup phase normally - i.e. before the main logic starts - hence the need for the service program to be in the library list _before_ the program starts. You'd see the same effect if you had called it from the command line without the library in the LIBL.
