RE: Activation groups for beginners

["Smith, Nelson" <NSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just ease of recognition.  Could just as easily have been QILE.

The important point is that it is a separate named activation group.  You
definitely would not want to use *NEW here due to the overhead of building
and destroying the activation group on EACH record that is triggered.
*CALLER may get flaky if the triggering program is OPM, although I'm not
real clear on the implications when Data Management gets in between the the
triggering program and the trigger.  The stack listings I've looked at would
seem to indicate that the actual trigger calling routines from Data
Management run in *dftactgrp (although that may be just coming forward from
the triggering program, I'm not sure).
