Well, if you're completely comfortable changing out all your consumers of

​Rob,

You're missing Mark's point...

There's no value added by changing the signature, simply add the new export
at the end and you're done.

You _only_ need to change a hard coded signature when you want to force
every caller to be recompiled.

PGMLVL(*PRV) is only really needed when you have SIGNATURE(*GEN)

Save yourself lots of effort and just go from

STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*CURRENT) LVLCHK(*YES) SIGNATURE('MYSRVPGM sig v1')
EXPORT SYMBOL("CA9804R")
ENDPGMEXP

To
STRPGMEXP PGMLVL(*CURRENT) LVLCHK(*YES) SIGNATURE('MYSRVPGM sig v1')
EXPORT SYMBOL("CA9804R")
EXPORT SYMBOL("MYNEWSUBPROCEDURE")
ENDPGMEXP
