Adding Subprocedures to a Service Program

Hey, Ted:

I'm still new to ILE, procedures, and service programs. I thought you could add procedures to the end of a service program, then recreate the service program and use it without recreating any existing program that has it bound in. Is this true, or am I off track?

A Fuzzy Search Algorithm

Hey, Ted:

Most inquiry programs require a user to enter the exact value or exact beginning portion of a value to be located. Unfortunately such programs do not find the desired data if the user doesn’t remember the exact spelling of the search term. I have an algorithm that allows searching by any portion of a database field, even if the user misspells the search argument.
