I think what's happening is that you can insert ACTGRP('QILE') into one
source member, and ACTGRP('XYZ') into another. Then at bind-time which one
has priority? By changing the "default" from *NEW to *ENTMOD, it is say to
use the ACTGRP() keyword used in the entry module's source member (on its
header specification).
You can only use ACTGRP on the H-spec with the CRTBNDRPG command. You can't use it with the CRTPGM command.
Embedding the compiler parameter into the source code is the _best_ practice in my opinion, and thus gave IBM the justification to make this subtle change that should not really impact most (any?) code unless you've done the following: Secondary *Module(s): CRTRPGMOD Main *Module: CRTBNDRPG
I agree, but that's not an option with CRTPGM. If he's concerned about the default ACTGRP change in V5R3, he's obviously not using CRTBNDRPG, so your advice doesn't apply. (Unless of course he's using CRTPGM out of choice rather than necessity -- but I doubt it.)
