I don't think that many people like the way that service program signatures have been implemented, but specifying your own removes what little protection it does give. It's way too easy to overlook changing the signature when a service program is regenerated.

Why aren't you answering my question? WHAT protection does the system provide you? HOW are you recommending that I code my SRVPGM that will solve this problem?

Are you suggesting using STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*CURRENT) with no *PRV blocks? Is that the method you recommend? Or what method do you recommend?
