Barbara,

RCLRSC may be a blunt instrument from a technical point of view, but used as
the last action in a sort of driver program, it made sure the environment
was neat and tidy (as far as we could tell) when the user returned to the
menu.  And we did not feel the performance hit we get when after a RCLACTGRP
a new activation group has to be built.  I kinda miss RCLRSC.
