Frank, You should have no problems with this as long as the side deck (a lib file in Windows terminology) is the same for both DLL's. The side deck is used by the binder (or pre-linker) to generate stub calls to the DLL. As long as the DLL in the program object library have the same entry data as the DLL in the HFS, this will work fine.

Some of the DLLs that I'm looking to use are distributed by IBM as HFS and as a member of a PDS. I'm doing most of my editing, compiling and binding in OMVS. My question is, if I'm binding against the HFS version of the DLL and running the program under OMVS, can I run the same program using the PDS member of the DLL outside of OMVS without having to bind against the PDS version?
