DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BINDING LANG AND BIND DIR WHEN USING IN
SERVICE PGM...when using binding directory service pgm is
necessary?

Answer Posted / sumit gupta

Binding Language concept is involved in Service program.
This is used when we export procedures and attach when we
create service program or when update service program.
Binding language contains certain keywords like STRPGMEXP,
ENDPGMEXP, EXPORT
STRPGMEXP is used when signature is hardcoded or *current
or *previous is specified on PGMLVL.
ENDPGMEXP is used to end the STRPGMEXP
EXPORT is used to export the symbolic name of module
(procedure)

Binding directory is used to to attach many modules and
service program.

It depends whether service program is neccessary or not, if
your binding directory contains all the procedures which
are also present in service program then no need to using
service program.


Cheers
