What is the exact difference between Service Program and Binding Directory?..

Answer / raghav

A service program can contains a list of Modules (Nomain) and procedures with multiple entry and exit point.

Whereas Binding directory is a collection of Service programs and modules.

We can separately attach an service program to a program or we can include it in an binding directory and attach to the programs

Hope this helps!
