We have a mixture of programs, encompassing DFTACTGRP(*YES), DFTACTGRP(*NO) 
ACTGRP(*CALLER) where it may be running in the default activation group or 
in a *NEW activation group, and DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP(*NEW).  All of our 
service programs are ACTGRP(*CALLER) where it may be running in the default 
activation group or in a *NEW activation group.  We do not use named 
activation groups.

We do NOT use RCLRSC or RCLACTGRP (both of which are accidents looking for 
a place to happen, regardless of what kind of OPM/ILE environment you use).

The service programs have to be coded carefully (not a problem since I do 
all of the service programs myself).  So long as that is done, no problems.
