Actually, *CALLER is much more likely to exhibit problems than a named 
activation group is.

My guess (well, stab in the dark, really) as to what your problem is... 
You're running a servie program in *CALLER and calling it from the default 
activation group.   Somewhere along the line, a program is doing a RCLRSC 
command, and since RCLRSC doesn't understand service programs, it's 
closing the files, but keeping the service program itself in memory.  When 
it's used again, the srvpgm is horribly confused because nothing notified 
it that the files were going to be closed.
