Re: Files open in service programs

Yes. They should remain open.

A service program is a separate program, where one of two things might be true: (1) the service program has it's own RPG cycle, with it's own LR indicator. or, (2) the programmer chose not to use the RPG cycle, and therefore LR is irrelevant.

In either case, changing the LR indicator in a calling program will have no effect. (It's no different than when you call *PGM instead of a *SRVPGM. If the caller sets on LR, it doesn't affect a called PGM, either.)

Question that could take me all day to answer empirically:

If an RPG program calls a service program that leaves files open,
then the program ends with SETON LR, should the files opened in the
service program remain open, within the job that called the program?
