If you wanted to create a very simple program and you have SEU then: 1. From the command line 2. Type in STRSEU QCLSRC SIMPLE CLLE 3. Type in PGM on the first line following 'Beginning of data' 4. Press F3 5. Type in CRTBNDCL SIMPLE You now have created a simple program. To call it from the command line type in CALL SIMPLE I'm not sure what you mean by MODULE "type" (it's the 'type' that's confusing me). But for a general discussion of *PGMs, *SRVPGMs, and *MODULEs I would recommend starting with <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/books/sc415606.pdf">Chapter 2 ILE Basic Concepts</a>.

I take into consideration that by saying Module you are refering to ILE concepts.
Module is a group of code which you want to use in many programs so for this you bind this module into a program which is created using command CRTPGM.
to call module within a program you can use command CALLB Module_Name.

Hope it help you to understand what is Module

Actually you call the procedure or function that is within the *MODULE. You don’t actually call *MODULEs (though in many cases the *MODULE name is the same as the procedure name).
