Well, actually you can change the activation group with the UPDPGM command:

UPDPGM PGM(PHILLIB/PRMORG01) MODULE(*NONE) ACTGRP(PHILAG)

It creates a new program - the old one is moved to QRPLOBJ.

If you call the pgm, don't reclaim the ag, change the ag with UPDPGM, then
call it again, both ag's will show in option 18 of wrkjob.

Can't change the ACTGRP with the UPDPGM command if the activation group is
*NEW.
