I just ran down my call stack and all "Q" programs are running in the
default ag. I guess I don't understand why you think that this QDBPUT
wouldn't be running in your default activation group unless it was called
from an ILE program that wasn't running in the def. ag.

Brad,
I should have been clearer. The trigger program will be call by a
program
with a name like "QDBPUT". If you display "QDBPUT" it is an OPM program
running in the system state. The ILE manual says that the activation
group
for *CALLER is derived by the
calling program. In this case an OPM program. Is it ignored? Does the
invocation procedure run down the stack to the first non-system program?
If
so why does QCMD not behave this way? Where is this behavior documented?
Thanks for the help,
David Morris

What john is saying is that the trigger can be fired from a number of
places. And if the first program is running in the default activation
group, the trigger will be called in the default activation group. If
the same job runs a program in a different ag (lets say AGOE) that fires
the
trigger, the trigger will be fired in the same ag (AGOE) as that program,
therefore having more than one instance of the program in memory.
Of course in the second case it wouldn't be called by an OPM.

Jon,
I am starting to get confused. How does the system determine the
activation group for programs and service programs that specify *CALLER?
The
trigger is called by an OPM program. Why doesn't it run in the default
activation group when *CALLER is specified? Are system state programs
ignored? If they are why does QC
MD not behave this way? What about QCMDEXC? It is supposed to be
ignored in
the stack.
I haven't noticed any exceptions listed in any manual. If these are
exceptions where are they documented?
Thanks,
David Morris

You are correct - you should also be aware that by using *CALLER ou have
opened up the possibility that the trigger program can have multiple
invocations active at any one time (i.e. one in each AG - including the
default - that it gets called in). This
may not be what you want.
