  • Subject: RE: CL program using OPNQRYF & an ILE program

First a question.  Why are you running the RPG program in a named AG and
specifying OPNSCOPE(*JOB) on the CL?  This totally defeats the purpose of
using named AGs.

Second, your question isn't quite clear.  You say it works (which it
should), but you don't mention what other job processes you are referring to
when you ask "Why doesn't it affect anything else below the call level."

Suggestion - At least compile your report programs with front end CLs that
contain OPNQRYFs with the ACTGRP(*CALLER) parameter until there is a full
understanding of when and why to use named AGs.  With this method, if you
want to start slow with AGs, you can change your CLPs to CLLEs and name the
activation group when you create the CLLE program.  Then, your RPG program
will run in whatever AG your CLLE program was compiled to use.
