Re: Program won't let go of QRPLOBJ -- MIDRANGE-L

If you have a new version of the program, then deleting the one in QRPLOBJ has no ill effect when it is not in use. For example, a server job might have resolved the pointer to the program but might not be running it at the moment. If the old one is deleted, the new one will be found and all is good. That's the whole reason for the "replaced object" thing in the first place.

If it is a program in production, then you should do what someone suggested - end your interactive job and come back in - it should pick up the new version.

That basically means 'trying to find something that ain't there no more'. I'd like to see the English version of that message.

Go into QRPLOBJ and delete the program - the original name is
in the text description. Use F17 to filter on the original
name and delete any you find.

I do this all the time if I run into this kind of issue. No
problems, especially if you're on a development box. On a
production box, a job that was using the old one will pick up
the new one.

i,

While testing an interactive application, a program

crashed. I used STRSRVJOB in another session to find the
problem. I fixed the program and recompiled, but now the
application runs the program that is in QRPLOBJ.It is running
in a named ACTGRP. If I reply G to the message when the
program crashes, I can end it normally and exit to my
starting menu. At this point, I am in the DAG.

I debugged the calling program : this does a CALL MYPGM. I

changed the value of MYPGM so that it would not find the
program to call. It crashed, and I changed the value of
MYPGM back to the original value hoping it would now find the
program that I just fixed. However the program still crashes
with the same orginal problem. DSPJOB shows that the old
version of the program in QRPLOBJ is still running. The debug
screen shows the QRPLOBJ version of the program but the new source.

Returning to my menu in the DAG, I deleted the named ACTGRP

to get the new version of the program to run. Which I didn't
want to have to do. How could I have got the app to use my
new version of the program?

Thanks.
