RE: ILE in Default Activaction Group

[CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Vance,

Programs that use DFTACTGRP(*YES) are not a problem.

Basically, they aren't ILE programs.  You can't for example use procedures
in a program that specifies DFTACTGRP(*YES).


Programs that specify DFTACTGRP(*NO)  ACTGRP(*CALLER) and then are called
directly from the command line or from an OPM CL program are actual ILE
programs running in the default activation group.  These are the ones to be
concerned about.


But like Colin, I've done it in the past without problem.

HTH,
