RE: Activation group numbering

Hello Paul,

I hope I am pretty aware what AG is (but one never knows)...
In the ILE Concepts manual I read once (it may have confused me), that an 
ILE-program instruction code is only one copy on system (the code is also 
activated?) and its static data storage is activated in AG of each job where 
ILE-program gets called. It seems to me as if "something" was shared between 
jobs that all have same activated ILE program.

Can You clarify that to me Paul? Thanks for patience with me....

Hello Otto,

If I understand your question correctly, I think you may be misinterpreting
what an AG is. An AG is a "subset" of a job, it is not shared across jobs.

In your example each of the jobs have an AG named DRIVERAG - note, each of
the jobs - there is NOT an AG named DRIVERAG that is being shared between
the jobs.

Since an Activation Group is unique to the job, so you need not be concerned
that two jobs have the same activation group number/name.
