Re: bnddir *SRVPGM *IMMED vs *DEFER

I agree *DEFER makes sense as the default.
I presume it came out later as an option.

Not at all that I can think of...

I'm actually making those changes to my stuff as well, and try to remember
to override it when I add a new entry.

Default should be *DEFER I think. :) I know you can change it, but I work
on a lot of different machines and some don't let you change defaults.

Why would anyone want to use *IMMED over *DEFER?

We currently have most of our SRVPGMS in our binding directory defined

with

*IMMED but running into issues when the *SRVPGM is not in the library
list. Upon pgm initialization, if the *SRVPGM's cannot be found in the
libl, the pgm blows up. But if we set it to *DEFER we would have an
opportunity on the first call to ADDLIBLE.

I know there are other ways to handle this, such as just specifying the
library in the binding directory along with the *SRVPGM but we don't want
to do that.

Anyone see any issues with doing a mass *IMMED change to *DEFER and
recompiling our pgms? So that we may include this small step to ADDLIBLE
on first pgm call?
