Does anyone know a good way to keep an activation group open, or to stop then ending of an activation group?

We have upgraded a vendor product and they have decided that their tool must run "RCLACTGRP ACTGRP(*ELIGIBLE)".

The worst command ever for a service program that stays open, but isn't "held" open.

Every single one of our service programs reside in a named activation group.

When we use this vendor's product, all of our named activation groups are destroyed.
This causes the remaining calls to the procedures inside the service program to generate the error "Tried to refer to all or part of an object that no longer exists."

I've been unable to find a way to stop the RCLACTGRP command from killing all of our activation groups.

I've tried to use the Register Activation Group Exit Procedure (CEE4RAGE) API to register a procedure, but that procedure only runs after the end request has already been made. And I haven't been able to figure out how to Stop the end request from completing.
