Birgitta answered the question about the OVR (*JOB would also be a valid option for the scope).

As to the reclaim. The whole point of *NEW for the AG is to provide a self-destructing AG. If you replaced *NEW with (say) MYAGNAME then when the initial program with that designation returned to its caller AG MYAGNAME would remain active and a specific RCLACTGRP MYAGNAME would be required to clean it up. In the case of *NEW the AG self-destructs on the exit of the program that created it. This was initially instituted to make it easy to mirror the behaviour of C programs but a lot of RPGers like to use it from the main menu level to automatically clean up overrides, close files, etc. without any explicit actions being needed.

Hello,



I modified a CLP by adding DCLPRCOPT DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP(*NEW). The
subsequent programs are compiled with ACTGRP(*CALLER). Why aren’t my OVRDBF
functioning any longer ? They aren't even visible when working with the job
at the same level as the program that issued them.

Also, I put RCLACTGRP ACTGRP(*ELIGIBLE) at the end of the program and
noticed while debugging that no activation groups were eligible for
reclamation. Would that be because I used ACTGRP(*NEW) ?



Thanks
