RE: I hate Activation Groups....

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

I can't really say what the problem is, but I suspect you'd have better
results compiling the RPGIV program to run in a named activation group, and
compiling the service program to run as *CALLER. I suspect the CLP is
running in the DAG, which would make the RPGIV run there as well. I know
I've heard of situations where ILE resources get started in the default
activation group by mistake and the system gets hosed when trying to reclaim
those resources. I know that was the case with RCLACTGRP *ELIGIBLE (very
dangerous).

hth,
Eric DeLong

OK, here's the situation, and hopefully, someone can brief me on why this
is happening...

I have a *SRVPGM with an assigned activation group, we'll save ACTGRP
('DAVE')..

Now, I have a normal RPGLE program, with an activation group of *CALLER,
that calls the *SRVPGM.

And a CLP that calls the RPGLE, has a RCLACTGRP DAVE, and the end of it.

OK, here's what's happening.
- - My first time calling the CLP --> RPGLE, is successful.  No problem.
- - My second time calling it, I logs my off the system, with a MCH3402,
message.

Message ID . . . . . . . . . :   MCH3402
Message file . . . . . . . . :   QCPFMSG
  Library  . . . . . . . . . :     QSYS
Message . . . . :   Tried to refer to all or part of an object that no
longer
  exists.
Cause . . . . . :   The most common cause is that a stored address to an
  object is no longer correct because that object was deleted or part of
the
  object was deleted.

In my joblog, there is NO indication of the object.

Can anyone give me a little indication of what is going on here... We can
work around this by having the RPGLE program compiled with ACTGRP('DAVE').
But, I'd like to know why this would be happening in the first place...

thanks
