Re: Bound RPGLE or Module/PGM RPGLE! -- RPG400-L

Make your compilation instructions easy!  Use the H specs to store binding 
directory and 
stuff.  Less stuff to remember when compiling.  Beats the comment section I 
used to have 
'Compile instructions'.  If you do this you'll then be more efficient to use 14.

Subject:        Bound RPGLE or Module/PGM RPGLE!

Hi,
I like to know the advantages/disadvantages of creating a Bound RPGLE program 
or two step (Module and PGM) when there is a CALLB for a module which is in a 
Service program.  The Service program is added to a Binding directory.

I have created the object by using option '14' from WRKMBRPDM by assigning a 
named Activation group and the name of the Binding directory, where the Service 
program is defined.  This way I have generated only one object.

My colleague advises me to create the program as a Module first, and then use 
option '26' to create the program from WRKOBJPDM.  Instead of specifying the 
Binding directory, the Service program name is to be specified in the create 
prompt. 

I am not sure whether both the processes serve the same purpose or specifying 
the Service program has advantages over the Binding directory.

Your comments are appreciated.

Robert
