Re: Starting to use ILE. Was: How to best identify if applications are running in OPM mode?

Personally we use only *NEW and *CALLER. . . . We also have a lot of

This means that service programs sometimes run in the default
activation group, but I have not found this to be a problem.

Hmm. I seem to recall at least one personal experience with Bad Things
Happening when certain ILE-only constructs were back-doored into
*DFTACTGRP by using *CALLER.

And what happens if you need a program that would behave badly in
*DFTACTGRP to terminate-but-stay-activated (either so it can pick up
where it left off, or so multiple calls in a batch job don't create
separate spool files)? Named activation groups can be most helpful in
such situations.
