  • Subject: CL program using OPNQRYF & an ILE program
  • From: "David Prowak" <prowakd@xxxxxxx>

Hi!
I have a CL program that uses an OPNQRYF to select recs from a DB file,
and then it calls an ILE pgm.  The CL program runs in the default
activation group.  The ILE program runs in a named activation group.

To get the ILE pgm  to use the recs that were selected with the OPNQRYF, 
I need to change the OVRDBF to use OPNSCOPE(*JOB).  The default for 
OPNSCOPE is *ACTGRPDFN.  When the default is used or OPNSCOPE,
and the CL runs in the default activation group, the OPNCOPE scope 
equals the call level of the calling program.  Here's where I'm confused:

If the OPNSCOPE runs at the call level of the CL,
I thought that it would effect any of the programs
running lower then it in the call stack.
Why doesn't it effect the ILE pgm that is called at 
a call level "below" the CL?

         CALL STACK
  -----------------------------------------
  |   CL pgm - default AG     |      <=== OPNSCOPE call level
  -----------------------------------------
  |   ILE pgm - named AG    |      <=== "lower" call level
  -----------------------------------------

Thanks! 
Dave
