 >> The problem with using a static variable is that if the service program
is running in the default activation group and RCLRSC is run, the files are
closed but static variables are not changed.

This is one of a number of very good reasons why you should never run
Service Programs in the default AG.  They are just not designed to work in
that environment and you'll get yourself in a mess really easily (or rather
some maintenance programmer who tries to make a small change to your
application will get in the mess).

Barbara Morris, myself and others in earlier posts on this list have
explained the in-and-outs of this so I won't repeat it.  I suggest you
check the archives and you'll understand why this is a really bad idea.
