Re: Activation group numbering

["Paul Tuohy" <tuohyp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Otto,

The sharing of the instruction code is shared between all jobs that use it,
but that is not new with ILE, that's the way it worked in OPM as well, and
it is not a function of an AG. An AG, and everything in it, is unique to the
job.

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.
