Re: Default activation groups

I should have asked this question more clearly, specifically.

Given an OPM-RPG program A, is there a gotcha with calling program B compiled with DFTACTGRP(*YES)?  I need to capture changes to a certain file for certain values and instead of modifying old RPG3 code I'd like to call an RPGLE program to handle something like a data queue pipe to another process that checks for changes and sends an email.

Thing is I need to catch changes to two values in a file, and I'm looking at triggers because records get updated, deleted, and/or inserted by about 15 programs, They run in the gamut of AG'S: OPM-RPG, RPGLE-*DFTACTGRP, *CALLER, *NEW, and QILE. (these programs will be part of a comprehensive modernization strategy they are planning that includes the activation group issues.)

there is time pressure to clear a backed-up queue of requests. But I don't want any gotchas of course.

Can somebody share the differences between the two different activation groups?

Specifically, is there any gotchas if one OPM program A called an RPGLE program B compiled with DFTACTGRP(*YES) ?
