Re: ILE in Default Activaction Group

Depends. If you have an override, that specifies SHARE(*YES) as a prelude
to an OPNQRYF statement running in the default activation group, but you
have a program that is not running in the default activation group reading
that file, and your CFO gets invalid numbers from that report, well, you
may wish that the sky was falling.

Stupid example, I know. But you really should research this. Sounds like
you are running RPG 4 programs, not ILE Programs. To take advantage of the
true benifits of ILE, i.e. Modular design, service programs, binding
directories, etc, etc, etc,  you need to not run your programs in the
default activation group.

But this requires planning and research in understanding how activation
groups work.

Thanks,

Mark

Colin,
  Thanks for the feedback.  Before I start the crying the sky is falling at
my shop I want to make
sure that I have not been mislead.  Based on the feedback I have heard
spontaneous decapitation
won't occur to ile programs in the default activaction group.  I think
caution might
be the order of the day.
 Thanks Again,
 Vance
