Service Programs

MrPort — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 05:45:44 +0000

When do you use a service program and when do you use a module? There is a difference in performance with each and using the correct method can save processing time for your applications. We use modules when they are called for and service programs when the application justifies it.

As always, if you have questions we’d love to help you answer them.
