This is not really a Java issue so any deep discussion should probably
go somewhere else but it can be an issue with Java calling RPG. *caller
helps but you still have to define a static number of chainable stubs
using a C or CL program. I use that technique for triggers. You can also
use *new/*caller but ideally, you would be able to activate a program
into an activation group dynamically through the activate program api.

Before reading this...please be gentle with me!  I'm not an RPG or
COBOL
person, but I work with a lot of them and have to support their efforts
to
create stored procedures and other things.

Can't you make a module first for the program that specifies *CALLER as
the
activiation group for the program?  We've done this for much of the
RPG
code we use and it seems to work just fin for us.  This is sort of an
indirect way to control the activation group by forcing the RPG to use
the
activation group of the caller.

Ok...let the flames begin! :)
