The only thing I really miss in RPG that OO has is inheritance. It
would be nice to be able to extend a service program without having to

You can extend a service program all you want without recompiling
anything that uses it as long as you:
1) use binder source during its creation
2) Add new exported procedures to the end
3) If you modify the parameters of an existing procedure, you do so
only by adding new *OMITable parameters at the end.
