I wouldn't use *ELIGIBLE in production code.  Notice that the command
doesn't show *ELIGIBLE anywhere except in the help?  The Info Center
says this:
   "Specifying ACTGRP(*ELIGIBLE) requires full knowledge of the job
environment. Otherwise, unpredictable results can occur."

But I don't even use it in development/test any more after a couple of
hair-tearing-out sessions trying to debug problems that were only caused
by my having done rclactgrp *eligible, and that got worse and worse as I
tried to fix something that wasn't broken.  I finally changed my PDM
option to just reclaim QILE; for me, it's quicker in the long run to
sign off and back on.

It does occasionally happen that I have some very complex things setup
and really really don't want to sign off, so I rclactgrp *eligible. 
Unfortunately, it seems that usually those complex setup things are the
very cases where *ELIGIBLE makes weird things happen so I eventually
have to sign off anyway (sigh).
