Re: Activation Groups and Threadsafe

This will have to be short - I'm trying to move house!!

Activation groups are a subdivision of a _job_ - so your fears about MRTs
are groundless.  Same goes for threads - they are there to a large extent
because Java needs them.  RPG has the ability to specify threadsafe so that
it doesn't blow up when invoked from a threaded Java program.

AGs in fact would have helped you with your Shared OPD problems since you
can restrict an ODP to an AG.

There are just additional facilities - use them if you understand them -
leave them alone if you don't.

Instead of writing such a thundering great, and hugely inaccurate, diatribe
- it might have been better to ask here for someone to give you a simple
explanation (or search the archives because we've been down this road
before).
