    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this Idea.

    If this requirement is implemented, Control keyword BNDSRVPGM will be supported for ILE RPG, both when creating a module and when creating a program.

    Note... WITHOUT requiring a binding directory (BNDDIR). Such as DCLPRCOPT BNDSRVPGM(mylib/mysvcpgm)
