Re: Product library vs SBMJOB

Terrence,

Many exit points are executed during a programs initialization or shutdown. In this case, it would be during the creation of the activation group. I'm not sure if that exit point even exists, but the theory is that if it does exits it could be used to set up the *LIBL.

What is an activation group *before* it is activated? Is there anything
other than the name?
