RE: Activation groups for beginners

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

Question on an odd observation about the RCLACTGRP command:

Here in this shop, we have hundreds of legacy CL OPM driver type programs
that all have RCLACTGRP *ELIGIBLE at the end as part of their cleanup
routine.  We have had many problems with MCH3402 errors and "object not
found in stack", etc.  and removing this command has solved most of them.
The odd thing I notice, however, when reviewing the joblogs, is that on many
such crashes, the joblog will say "0 Activation Groups reclaimed".  Does the
command affect anything other than activation groups?  How is it possible,
that removing the command fixes the problem if no activation groups were
reclaimed in the first place?
