RE: *INLR and *SRVPGM

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you are calling the program that has ACTGRP(*CALLER) specified from a
program running in the *DFTACTGRP then your programs will not close until
you sign off or explicitly close them.
If you are doing this, by the way, that's a no-no. :(

A service program itself has no concept of the cycle.  Therefore, it cannot
know that it needs to clean itself up when the caller terminates.  *INLR
means nothing to a *nomain program.  That's where activation groups come in
to play.  When the activation group is destroyed, then resources are freed.


I would compile the application (not the service program) as ACTGRP(*NEW)
and see if this corrects the problem you're having.  This topic has been
covered many times, and the FAQ has many tips and pointers for the
newcomers.  There's a lot of help to be had in the archives too.  Good luck.

   Using V5R1, I compile a service program using ACTGRP(*CALLER).  When I
   call an application program (also in *CALLER), I access the service
   program, set *INLR on in the *SRVPGM, and return...but the files remain
   open (I have file closes in the *SRVPGM but not executed).  When I close
   the files, everything works as expected.  I suspected *INLR would have
   closed the files, or has the activation group boat departed without me?
