RE: CLLE *MODULE question

I see a compile of a legacy program as one step.

With a program made from *MODULE objects I see:
A step to create the *MODULE(s), which I see as "equal" legacy program compile(s).
A step to create the *PGM object, which I count as an "extra" step.
Additionally, I create a simple CL to contain the CRTPGM command, which I count as extra code.

"the extra code and steps"? I don't understand. You say you have a *MODULE object so I would assume you were planning on binding it with another program to make an executable. How is creating an executable from your *MODULE an extra step over recompiling it as a program?

Gary, no good reason, but I did mention "the extra code and steps" . . .
I'm also looking at Alan's suggestion of creating a service program (new to me) but seems to offer some relief from "extra code and steps".
Thank you for the CRTPGM example, I've not used some of the parameters shown.

Why not just use the CRTPGM command?

CRTPGM PGM(YOURLIB/YOURCLLE) ENTMOD(YOURCLLE) ACTGRP(*ENTMOD) ALWUPD(*NO) USRPRF(*USER or *OWNER your preference)

Subject: CLLE *MODULE question

I have a *MODULE created from CLLE code which is used to create several RPGLE program objects.

I'm thinking of compiling that same CLLE code as a *PGM to make it easy to call from a CL program I am changing for another project.

I could convert this different CL to a CLLE *MODULE and bind it to the other CLLE *MODULE, but don't want the extra code and steps . . .

Is it a bad idea to have the same code as both a bind-able *MODULE and callable *PGM ?
