Service program

 

A service program is an Integrated Language Environment^® (ILE) object that provides a means of packaging externally supported callable routines (functions or procedures) into a separate object.

Bound programs and other service programs can access these routines by resolving their imports to the exports provided by a service program. The connections to these services are made when the calling programs are created. This improves call performance to these routines without including the code in the calling program.
