Re: Activation Groups

Hi Jon,

Yeah, terminology for a new technology always has some glitches. Actually, I
see no reason for the DFTACTGRP compile option at all. Just use ACTGRP(*OPM)
or ACTGRP(*FAKEOPM), since if DFTACTGRP is *DEFAULT, you can't use the
ACTGRP option.

If you use DFTACTGRP(*NO) and ACTGRP(*CALLER), you are not limited to
external program procedures. So by saying "compiled into the default
activation group" I was trying to say that if you use DFTACTGRP(*YES) you
will be limited. As I'm sure you know.
