Re: Service program & activation group

["Andy Holmer" <aholmer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As you can not execute a module, it is only a building block for a
program, you can not specify an ACTGRP for the module.  If you are
thinking of CRTBNDRPG (PDM option 14), it creates a module in QTEMP
(CRTRPGMOD) and and then creates a program (CRTPGM), two distinct steps.

To create a service program you use the command CRTSRVPGM and you can
then specify the activation group.

I /COPY the follwing H SPEC into my RPG programs so that I can use the
PDM option 14 to create my non-service programs.

H BndDir('ILE_UTIL') Option(*SrcStmt:*NoDebugIO)            
H Copyright('World Class Information Systems, Inc. 2003') 
 /If Defined(*CRTBNDRPG)                                    
H DftActGrp(*No) ActGrp(*Caller)                            
 /EndIf                                                     

Support for the *CRTBNDRPG parameter has been fairly recent (V5R1?) so
if you are not current you might not be able to make use of the "/If
Defined"

Also, if you are new to service programs, I would advise you to review
binder language if you haven't already.
