Answer / manikandan s.k.

Hi Binding directory is nothing collection of service
programs/Module.
service program only contains the procedure and its going
to be refered at runtime.
suppose the program 'A' has using 2 service programs s1,s2
and one module m1.
you can include these 2 serive programs and one module in
one binding directory(BD1).
that is BD1 now contains s1,s2,M1. so instead of include
all the objects s1,s2,m1 you can refer/include the
directory name.

have to declare the binding directory name in the Hspec or
module creation time .

Answer / pramod & remya

Service program-These are pgms that holds the modules that
we frequently used in a pgm. ie, we need to bind this
service pgm with a pgm in order to work with the modules in
it. now we can call the modules by using callb. Service pgms
are not work independently. Service pgms provides services
to another pgm or modules when needed.all the modules in the
service pgm exists in the same activation group.

Binding directory- it used to increase system performance
.Instead of searching in all libraries,the ile compiler
check the existence of object in binding directory.If it
will not find the obj in binding directoy, it will search in
other lib list.
