Scott/Bob,
Thanks for making this more clear for me to understand.
(So the below statement would be true)
In my situation working with the Web users, once this activation group has
been loaded into memory, any connections from the web calling this program
will have this activation group available to them. This activation group is
available until its deleted out of memory (reclaimed).
Thanks

Scott,
Just to be more clear, the program doesn't run faster, it loads and starts
running in a shorter timeframe than it did previously because no activation
group is being created.
Just didn't want Jason to think the program runs faster the second time. It
runs
the same, although the start-to-end delta gives one the impression that the
program ran faster, it was just the removal of the steps in the path that
allow
it to start up quicker.

Hi Jason,
I'm sending a copy of my reply back to the RPG400-L mailing list, since
it's where this thread started, and I feel it's important for follow-ups
to go there as well. That way, everyone has a chance to learn, and
everyone has a chance to make comments.
In keeping your activation group open, lets say the program is called again, what happens with the activation group? Does it get closed or will it try to reclaim the activation group?
ILE programs are loaded into memory (the technical term for that is called "activation") into an activation group. The program then remains in memory until the activation group is reclaimed (i.e. deleted from memory.) Let's say you compile your program with ACTGRP(JASON). The first time this program (or any other program with the same activation group name) is called, the activation group gets created in memory. Your program is then loaded from disk into memory into this activation group. It's then run. On subsequent calls (assuming you haven't reclaimed the activation group) the program is already loaded into memory, and therefore runs very fast because it doesn't have to be re-loaded into memory. If you're writing an RPG program, and the program ended with *INLR off, the files can be left open from call to call, which speeds things up even further since the files don't have to be closed and re-opened on every call. -- This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l. -- This is the RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries (RPG400-L) mailing list To post a message email: RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-l or email: RPG400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l.
