I don't do it very often at all, but when I do, it gives me a simple way force a signature violation if something doesn't get recompiled for whatever reason.

I strongly advise two things: 1) Create a MAKE-like CL program to re-create the service program 2) Use a simple binder language signature of your own creation, like SIGNATURE('MYCOMPANY') Yes, the client programs can be compiled with PDM option 14 if you have H BNDDIR(…) which was imperative for me because not everyone here (or my prior employer) is familiar with service programs, etc. You’ll still have to do a two step to create the service program.
