Re: Default activation groups

[Alan Cassidy <cfuture@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
