Joe,

Do this

H DFTACTGRP(*NO)
H ACTGRP(xxx)

Subject: CRTBNDRPG, ACTGRP and the H spec

Okay, now that I've upgraded to V5R1, I got rid of some of my old
standby
commands in my user system library.  This included my special version of
CRTBNDRPG, which had DFTACTGRP(*NO) specified.

Now, I figured I could avoid this by simply specifying an ACTGRP(xxx) in
my
H spec, but the compiler bombs.  Evidently the ACTGRP(xxx) keyword isn't
enough to override the CRTBNDRPG's default setting of DFTACTGRP(*YES).

This stinks.

So, do I have to know ahead of time whether a program is meant to be in
the
activation group, and execute a different compile command (setting
DFTACTGRP
to either *YES or *NO) depending on how the program is meant to run?

This seems to be a pain in the butt.  If I go to the trouble of
specifying
the keyword in the H spec, you'd think that would override any defaults
the
compiler might have.

Anyway, bottom line: do I have to go re-add my CRTBNDRPG command in
PBDUTIL
to have DFTACTGRP(*NO)?

Joe
