RE:RPG Service Program vs Include Source for Shared and SQL Calls

Ooh I'll have to check out the dynamic loading in noxDb.

Thanks for reminding me. I hadn't looked at that in a while.

Hey Brian,

We did it manually- so each ?breaking? version got its own version
signature- and it worked fine. The problem occurred when you have hundreds of versions- and trying to keep track of each.. with hundreds of exports..
the binder source exploded..

So we went to a more pragmatic solution: only adding exports to the end - and if implementation is challenged- add that to the end and don?t touch the original so any client code will work in touched.

.. but that is a convention, and conventions can easy be broken.

That made me implement the dynamic procedure load and we use that in all our products and projects

You can find ?the magic? in both noxDb and ILEastic and in our IceBreak.
