Level Check - service program

["Frances Denoncourt" <Frances.Denoncourt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I added a field to a file that uses an I/O module (service program) for
all access to this particular file. I have re-compiled the file.

I went to the following link to see exactly what I need to do next.
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200210/msg00025.html

Then re-read Joel Cochran's article: "Service Programs with a Smile"
particularly this paragraph: "With service programs, you only have to
issue one command, UPDSRVPGM, like so: 
UPDSRVPGM SRVPGM(MYLIB/MYSRVPGM)   MODULE(MYLIB/PROC2)
Doing so updates not only the service program itself but also all of
the programs that have bound PROC2."

Like many shops, we have  dev and prod boxes. If I use the UPDSRVPGM
command to get everything back in sync on development, does that mean I
only have to send the re-created file to production then run the
UPDSRVPGM there, as well? 

Or, could I, to be on the safe side (read: sissy) just recreate
everything - add *prv to binder source, etc - and promote to production?
This is one file, one service program,  and three programs that access
the I/O service program.  The last time I worked on any service programs
was when I built this automatic job submitter system last July. We have
since decided to go in another direction - dot net on our intranet for
all applications.  Scary *ain't*  it?

Thanks,
