RE: Activation groups for beginners

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

An additional question I would like to see addressed:

I've seen it written, I think, on various occasions say that the true
definition of whether a program is an ILE program or not is based on whether
it is running in the *dftactgrp or not.

If I have a program that was intended to be an ILE program (using multiple
modules, procedures, service programs, etc), but was compiled with *CALLER
and was called by an OPM program, what functionality is actually lost as
compared to when that same program is called by an ILE program running in a
named activation group?  I've always been a little hazy on the specifics of
just what is different, other than the fact that "unpredictable results" may
occur.
