Re: Is there an API to "deactivate" an "active" service program?

I don't think so.

In my trigger mediator and iSeries Interface and other tools I have built
are on all based on dynamically loading service programs and they use the
same idea for dealing with updated service programs. I have a timestamp in
a User Space that gets updated when a re-load is requested.

When the timestamp changes, all the service programs are dumped from the
internal list and the service programs are reloaded with new versions as
needed. If what you are saying is true, nothing would ever get re-loaded
and the users would always have the the wrong version but that doesn't
happen. The new version is loaded and processing is done using the new
version

If it doesn't work, a whole lot of people running my code have a big
problem.

I would like to "free" resources that may have been allocated by service
programs, after a period of inactivity. Plus, as Rob questioned, a newer
version of a service program may be available.

By deactivate them, do you mean reload them? You don't have to deactivate
them. You can just run load again.

Calling QleActBndPgm() a second time doesn't "reload" a service program
that's already active. It just returns a flag indicating that it's already
active.

Also, make sure you are using QleActBndPgmLong or you are periodically

going to get crashes.

Thanks, I'll check that out.
