Re: Shared File Opens Between OPM and ILE Call

Nope, turned out when they converted the program from OPM to ILE,
they were compiling the code to NOT be in the same activation group.

For those who care, shared opens don't appear to carry across
activation groups.

Actually, there should be two options: OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL) or
OVRSCOPE(*JOB)--but either option must also specify OPNSCOPE(*JOB)

Here's the help text for *CALLLVL and *JOB:

*CALLLVL
The scope of the override is determined by the current call level.
All open operations done at a call level that is the same as or
higher than the current call level are influenced by this override.

*JOB
The scope of the override is the job in which the override occurs.
