Re: Program vs Service Program Procedures

No real performance reason however I strongly urge you to go the service program/API route. Now when they ask you to put up web page or similar the I/O is done and all the error checks etc will apply.

I have the need to write several different programs or procedures to update/create database files in our Order Entry system.
I'm debating whether to write separate RPG programs versus creating a Service Program to contain the same calls to Procedures.

Right now, I see little reason to "reuse" this logic elsewhere. I guess that could change in future as these will operate on our ERP Order Header and Order Detail files.

Is there any significant performance reason to use bound procedures instead of call to separate RPG programs?

I found some older posts on forums that indicate the difference is negligible.

Thanks,
Greg
