RE: Problem with commitment control and actgrp QILE

Barbara,

Thanks for the clarification.

That first part certainly wasn't a direct quote, just the idea I had in the
back of my mind, so I'm sure I wasn't remembering it correctly.

With respect to the other actual quotes I also included.  Specifically this
one:
"RCLACTGRP works if
 1. you only need to close files and free heap storage (i.e. you don't have
    any locks to remove, or any temporary files to delete, etc.)
 2. you want to do cleanup for -all- the programs in the activation group,
not
    only the one that is ending
 3. you are sure that no program in the AG is still active, otherwise the AG
    won't be reclaimed
 4. all your file-opens are scoped to the AG
 5. no other AG has saved a pointer to your heap storage"


Say you have a CLLE running in MYGRP calling RPGLE in MYGRP two.  If the
RPGLE end with *INLR = *OFF and the CLLE does a RCLACTGRP MYGRP2, will
MYGRP2 be reclaimed?

>From #3 above, it would seem the answer is no.  But in that case what good
is RCLACTGRP?

Thanks,
Charles
