Oops... I mean other programs, not other jobs.   What I was getting at is
that if you put all of your programs in QILE, and then scope the overrides
to the default *ACTGRPDFN, the override will affect any other programs
running in the QILE actgrp.

This is different than DFTACTGRP(*YES) because in that situation it goes
by call-level, and when that call level ends, so does the override.

This is why I think *NEW/*CALLER is easier for new people to understand.
