RE: Activation groups for beginners

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

What's the difference between this and a recompile?

Since a program compiled with *CALLER doesn't know what activation group it
will be running in until execution time, there must be some way that IBM has
of assigning that activation group dynamically.  Is there an API for this?
or, could there be?
