Answer Wiki:
First I have a few questions:
1.) Is the program made up of the two modules?
2.) Are either of the modules in the service program?
3.) Does the program have its own code and it just uses the two modules and they are not in the service program?
If the answer to question 1 is yes, then make the changes to the modules, compile them and then issue the UPDPGM command.
If the answer to 2 is yes then, make the changes to the modules, compile them and then issue the UPDSRVPGM command followed by the UPDPGM command.
If the answer to 3 is yes then make the changes to the program, recompile it. If, for some reason, you created the program with the CRTPGM you will need to issue the UPDPGM command after a successful compile.

If the program and service program already exist, then you can use UPDPGM or UPDSRVPGM after compiling a changed module. As far as I know, this is always possible as long as you’re compiling the modules that are already in the program or service program.
It’s your choice to use UPDPGM or UPDSRVPGM or to recompile and recreate them.
Personally, I always try to use the UPD commands after a program or service program exists. This helps me to stay conscious of the fact that only modules are ever compiled. After a short while, it becomes an automatic thought. The structure of how it all works stays clear in my mind.
