Determining Exports from Service Programs

A service program exports procedures and data items that can be imported by other programs. These exports represent the interface to the service program. In the C/C++ programming language, procedures and data items correspond to functions and variables.

Information about exports, which can be derived from the modules that form a particular service program, may be used to create a binder language source file which then defines the interface to this service program. A binder language source file specifies the exports the service program makes available to all programs that call it. This file can be specified on the EXPORT parameter of the CRTSRVPGM command.

Binder language gives you better control over the exports of a service program. This control can be very useful if you want to:
