RE: How to tell if a program is active?

["York, Albert" <albert.york@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you use this technique you need to be careful if you use save while
active to do backups. You will not be able to save the program while it is
active. 

I create a data area with the same name in a library that I don't back up
and allocate it instead.
