Re: RCLACTGRP vs. CEETREC

[Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxx]

 >> What is the difference and advantages of RCLACTGRP and CEETREC? Is it good
practice to do both or is it overkill?

In the simplest of terms CEETREC is intended for use from within an activation
group - i.e. a program within a specific AG is requesting that the AG be
terminated, thereby returning control to the program that called into the AG.
RCLACTGRP is intended for use from outside the AG once it is realized that it is
no longer needed.  Everything else being equal - the effect of the two is the
same.

There is no need to do either unless you specifically need the resources cleaned
up, and in fact you don't want to do them more often than needed.

For the COBOL literate, CEETREC gives RPG the effect of having a STOP RUN
operation.
