H ActGrp('QILE') vs H ActGrp(*caller)

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

When I first started using a service program I set up some default H spec's
to be copied in using /copy for the programs using the service program, and
for RPGLE programs in general.  In this copy member I have the following:
H ActGrp('QILE')

Some developers have requested that we be able to change this to
H ActGrp(*CALLER)
This will help make
ErrorFlag=system(cmd);
work better.  In cases where cmd is an OVRDBF.  I know I can workaround
with OVRSCOPE.

Any comments on the ramifications of this change?

The concepts of service programs, subprocedures and the like are catching
on here and I want to do everything I can to not stand in the way.

Who would have thought to document their H specs?  :-)
