>>can I just write a subprocedure, then within an IF statement use a
prototyped call to get the
value I need? Or do I need to put the subprocedure into a service program?
Does any bound by reference procedure need to be in a service program?

You can write a subprocedure.  You can issue a call from  an IF. Generally
subprocedures are called as 'functions' just like BIFs but you could use a
CALLP.  Bound by Reference procedures must be in a service program.  Once
you have created the service program and if the subprocedure logic changes
and is replaced, you just update the servive program...no need to recreate
the *PGM.
