Re: Using activation groups

David - maybe it's too late in the day but I'm not sure I understand what you
mean by the following statement - or exacly what you are trying to achieve.

>> "We didn't think about QCMD and PDM.  Quite a bit of
testing goes on where calls are made from these programs." <<

Using the base program in a menu chain as the program that names the AG and
having the rest of the chain specify *CALLER is what I'd normally recommend.
If you can elaborate on what your problems are I may be able to help more.  Do
you mean that when you're testing you call the program from the command line
(or PDM) - the more I think about it the more I think that's what you meant.
If you do, then using a named AG for all programs would probably work best.  In
V4R2 they are allowing you to change the AG name of any program running in a
named AG - perhaps that will help?
