 >> You can't use subprocedures in the default activation group.

This is not true - although it is not a bad idea <grin>  However it is true
that you cannot use subprocedures when you specify DFTACTGRP(*YES) (which
is the default).

I think the confusion arises from the rather bad choice of name for this
particular compiler directive.  It should really be named Compatibility
Mode since it has little to do with where the program runs.  Rather it
determines if an "RPG/400 style" program is to be created or not.  If *YES,
then the program behaves like an RPG/400 program and therefore is not
allowed to use subprocedures because they are a bound call which RPG/400
can't do.  If *NO then the program can use all the features of RPG IV
including subprocedures and can run anywhere.

If you want to test this, compile a program which uses subprocedures and
specify DFTACTGRP(*NO) together with ACTGRP(*CALLER).  Call the program and
see where it is running, you'll see it is in the default AG.
