Hi Esther -

We are experiencing job abnormal ends when we use the RCLACTGRP(name)
command and then try to use  service programs that have been reclaimed.

...

If we use the RCLACTGRP(name) command the next time we try to use the
service program the job ends abnormally.

RCLACTGRP is an accident waiting to happen and this is a good example of it.

Why are you using RCLACTGRP at all?  If you are using named activation
groups, why not just leaving the activation group active?

I'll take issue with Eric's comments about *CALLER programs running in the
default activation group yielding "unpredictable results".  I have a number
of *CALLER programs that run in the default activation group and that use
*CALLER service programs which are also running in the default activation
group and I don't have problems.  The results are only "unpredicatable" if
you don't understand how activation groups, *CALLER, and service programs
really work.
