Re: [MI400] Why is MATACTAT's activation status bit alway on?

[Gene_Gaunt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

FYI  --  After some tinkering I think I found a way to reactivate a
recompiled program into never-ending spawned activation groups such that
users don't have to end and restart their servers to get the refreshed
code:

(1) Run MATPGMNM when the spawned program starts, and save the program and
library name in a variable.

(2) When a client requests something that doesn't rely on the server's
prior state (e.g. when a user launches a main menu item), run MATPGMNM
again in the server.

(3) If the current program and library names don't match the original
(saved) program and library names, then the program has been recompiled, so
send a scope message QMHSNDSM specifying the original (saved) program and
library name, and end the program.

(4) The operating system activates and invokes the fresh copy of the
recompiled spawned program in the server.  The client program is unaware.

Cool!
