Hi all

I was at a site yesterday where an ILE service program was put live which crapped out when called from a menu obtained by use of an attention key. I have had a look through the archives but nothing seemed applicable to my situation.

The program in question crashes with a pointer not found error referring to one of the procedures exported from the service program (sorry I should have thought to bring the error message home with me)

I had a look at the program called from the menu which seems have a lot of rclrsc commands but otherwise did not seem to have anything strange about it other than being an attention key program.

The service program and the ile program calling it were both compiled with activation group *CALLER and the ile programs live in a mainly OPM progam environment.

When I looked at the job stack and checked out the activation group there were default activation groups with levels 1 and 2 scattered all through the job.

I'm at a bit of a loss to understand what is going on here, although I am sure the answer is that I need to understand the activation group concepts better

can anyone shed any light on what might be going on here ?

Regards
Evan Harris
