Re: Service Program Limitations

100% agree with David.

There are limits, but they are largely theoretical and I have never known anyone to hit them.

IBM have some pretty large SPs with many many procedures.

Organize based on functionality and try to avoid the silliness of one module one SP.

Is there a limit to the size of service programs?

There may be a theoretical limit ... but I doubt it's something a
normal application would encounter.

The number of modules that can be bound?

The CRTSRVPGM has a limit of 300 modules that can be bound into a
service program. You can avoid that limitation by using a binding
directory.

The number of procedures exported? Any other limits? We want to be proactive before we hit any limits.

I would suggest you construct your service programs in a logical
manner based on application domain (i.e., modules related to A/R are
in an AR service program, modules related to A/P are in an AP service
program, etc). and not worry too much about limits.

I use service programs extensively and have never run into a limit.
