*DUPPROC: During the symbol resolution phase of the binding process, the procedure names that are exported from the modules and service programs do not have to be unique. When multiple duplicate procedures are allowed, the first exported procedure in the list of specified modules and service program that matches the import request is the procedure that is selected.

Duplicate Variable Names

*NODUPVAR: During the symbol resolution phase of the binding process, each variable name that is exported from the modules and service programs must be unique.
*DUPVAR: During the symbol resolution phase of the binding process, the variable names that are exported from the modules and service programs do not have to be unique.

Issuing Diagnostic Messages

*WARN: If duplicate variables or procedures are found, then a diagnostic message is issued indicating what duplicates were found.
*NOWARN: If duplicate variables or procedures are found, diagnostic messages are not issued.

Resolving References (Imports)

*RSLVREF: All imports must be resolved to exports for the service program to be created.
*UNRSLVREF: All imports do not need to resolve to exports for the service program to be created. If the service program tries to use one of these unresolved imports at run time, a MCH4439 run-time exception is issued.

Listing detail (DETAIL)

Specifies the level of detail to be printed.

*NONE: A listing is not generated.
*BASIC: Contains a listing of the options passed to CRTPGM, and processing statistics. This listing also contains the Brief Summary Table.
*EXTENDED: In addition to the information provided in the *BASIC listing, this listing contains the Extended Summary Table and the Binding Information Listing.
*FULL: This listing contains the *EXTENDED listing and the Cross-Reference Listing.
Note: If a printed listing is requested, the printer file *LIBL/QSYSPRT is used to generate the listing.

Allow *SRVPGM library update (ALWLIBUPD)

Specifies whether to allow the bound service program library name of the service program being created to be changed when updated using the UPDSRVPGM command.

*NO: The UPDSRVPGM command is not allowed to update the bound service program library names of the service program being created, even if *YES is specified for the Allow update (ALWUPD) parameter.
*YES: The UPDSRVPGM command is allowed to update the bound service program library names of the service program being created when ALWUPD(*YES) is specified.

User profile (USRPRF)

Specifies whether authority checking is performed only for the user running the service program, or for both the user running the service program and the service program owner.

*USER: The user profile of the service program user is used when the service program is run.
*OWNER: The user profile of both the service program owner and the service program user is used when the service program is run.

Replace program (REPLACE)

Specifies whether the existing service program is replaced if a service program by the same name already exists in the specified library.

*YES: Replace the existing service program by moving it to the QRPLOBJ library. Current activations of the service program will continue running using the version of the service program in the QRPLOBJ library.
Note: Both service programs must be owned by the same user for the replace to work.
*NO: No replacement occurs. An error message is issued if a service program already exists with the name and library specified for the &Service program (SRVPGM) parameter.

Authority (AUT)

Specifies the authority you are giving to users who do not have specific authority for the object, who are not on an authorization list, and whose group profile or supplemental group profiles do not have specific authority for the object.

*LIBCRTAUT: The system determines the authority for the object by using the value specified for the Create authority (CRTAUT) parameter on the Create Library command (CRTLIB) for the library containing the object to be created. If the value specified for the CRTAUT parameter is changed, the new value will not affect any existing objects.

*CHANGE: The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence (*OBJEXIST) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. *CHANGE authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR) authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove users.

*ALL: The user can perform all operations except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management (*AUTLMGT) authority. The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the object, change the object, and perform basic functions on the object. The user also can change ownership of the object.

*USE: The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.

*EXCLUDE: The user cannot access the object.

name: Specify the name of an authorization list to be used for authority to the object. Users included in the authorization list are granted authority to the object as specified in the list. The authorization list must exist when the object is created.

Target release (TGTRLS)

Specifies the release of the operating system on which you intend to use the object being created.

When specifying the target-release value, the format VxRxMx is used to specify the release, where Vx is the version, Rx is the release, and Mx is the modification level. For example, V5R3M0 is version 5, release 3, modification 0.

Valid values depend on the current version, release, and modification level of the operating system, and they change with each new release. You can press F4 while prompting this command parameter to see a list of valid target release values.

*CURRENT: The object is to be used on the release of the operating system currently running on your system. The object can also be used on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.
*PRV: The object is to be used on the previous release with modification level 0 of the operating system. The object can also be used on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.
character-value: Specify the release in the format VxRxMx. The object can be used on a system with the specified release or with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.

Storage model (STGMDL)

Specifies the storage model attribute of the service program.

*SNGLVL: The service program is created with single-level storage model. When a single-level storage model service program is activated and run, it is supplied single-level storage for automatic and static storage. A single-level storage service program runs only in a single-level storage activation group.
*TERASPACE: The service program is created with teraspace storage model. When a teraspace storage model service program is activated and run, it is supplied teraspace storage for automatic and static storage. A teraspace storage service program runs only in a teraspace storage activation group.
*INHERIT: The service program is created with inherit storage model. When activated, the service program adopts the storage model of the activation group into which it is activated. An equivalent view is that it inherits the storage model of its caller. When the *INHERIT storage model is selected, *CALLER must be specified for the Activation group (ACTGRP) parameter.

IPA control file (IPACTLFILE)

Gives the path name of a file which contains interprocedural analysis (IPA) suboption information. This parameter is allowed only when IPA(*YES) is specified.

*NONE: No IPA control file information is to be used when IPA(*YES) is specified.
path-name: Specify the path name of the IPA control file to use when IPA(*YES) is specified. If the name is qualified it must be enclosed in apostrophes. An example of a qualified IPA control file name is '/directory1/directory2/myipactlfname'
