Re: Program won't let go of QRPLOBJ

It'll cause the program to crash only if it is running, I believe. I could be wrong - I don't think I get so messed up with activation groups as David seems to, however. Unless the resolved pointer is not updated when called again. I run CGI programs, and the same CGI job gets the new program when I use this methodology, to the best of my recollection.

I've never had a program crash, but I'm on a development box, no regular users to speak of, and being a development house, we have different conditions, as you can imagine.

Still, this has been an effective method for me, and if not, then signoff and come back in.

Vern,

Under what conditions are you doing this that it fixes the
issue? It sounds to me like David hasn't reclaimed the named
activation group, so the program is still "active." The active
program contains the resolved pointer to the object in
QRPLOBJ. Deleting the QRPLOBJ version (without reclaiming the
ACTGRP) should cause the program to crash, not find the new one!

What am I missing?

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.

Hi,

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.
