Program Creation Concepts

The process for creating ILE programs or service programs gives you greater flexibility and control in designing and maintaining applications. The process includes two steps:
  1. Compiling source code into modules.
  2. Binding modules into an ILE program or service program. Binding occurs when the Create Program (CRTPGM) or Create Service Program (CRTSRVPGM) command is run.

This topic explains concepts associated with the binder and with the process of creating ILE programs or service programs. Before reading this, you should be familiar with the binding concepts described in ILE Basic Concepts.
