When		designing this		service	program, it was decided to		make	use	of
guage		to	determine	the interface, so that the program			could	be	mor
at	a	later date.		Figure 44	shows the binder	language	needed to		d
of	the service program CVTTOHEX. This source is					used in	the	EXPORT,
and	SRCMBR		parameters	of the	CRTSRVPGM command.

STRPGMEXP SIGNATURE('CVTHEX')

EXPORT SYMBOL('CVTTOHEX')

The parameter SIGNATURE on STRPGMEXP identifies the interface that the service program will provide. In this case, the export identified i guage is the interface. Any program bound to CVTTOHEX will make use o signature.

The binder language EXPORT statements identify the exports

of

the

se

program.

You

need

one

for each procedure

whose

exports

the

caller.

In this

case,

the service

program

contains one

contains

one procedure. Hence, only one EXPORT statement is required.

Creating the Service Program

To create the service program CVTTOHEX, follow these steps:

1.Create the module CVTTOHEX from the source in Figure 42 on page 95 entering:

CRTRPGMOD MODULE(MYLIB/CVTTOHEX) SRCFILE(MYLIB/QRPGLESRC￿)

2.Create the service program using the module CVTTOHEX and the bind guage shown in Figure 44.

CRTSRVPGM SRVPGM(MYLIB/CVTTOHEX) MODULE(*SRVPGM)

EXPORT(*SRCFILE) SRCFILE(MYLIB/QSRVSRC)

SRCMBR(*SRVPGM)

The last three parameters in the above command identify the expo service program will make available. In this case, it is based o found in the member CVTTOHEX in the file QSRVSRC in the library MYL
