Re: Shared File Opens Between OPM and ILE Call

We have a couple of old programs where an OPM program opens a print file and does a return to keep it open.

Then subsequent programs share the print file because an OVRPRTF with SHARE(*YES) is used.

The app is used to merge spool files.

One of our developers recently updated one of the called programs to be ILE instead of OPM.

This creates a new spool file (which is what I would expect because of the activation group).

If there a way to share that file open between OPN and ILE programs ?

Possible keeping the ILE call in the same activation group ?

Any thoughts appreciated.
