Yes... that's what's supposed to happen. Setting on *INLR in program A
has nothing to do with program b. If you want program B's files to
close, you need to set on *INLR in program B!
Or you need to end the activation group.
If you compile Program A with ACTGRP(*NEW) and Program B with
ACTGRP(*CALLER) then when Program A ends, it'll automatically end the
activation group (which in turn will close down program B)
If you want Program A to be called many times without closing it's
files, you can accomplish the same thing by specifying ACTGRP(SOMENAME)
with Program A, and leave Program B with ACTGRP(*CALLER). Then, the
files won't be closed until you run RCLACTGRP SOMENAME. That's more
efficient than ACTGRP(*NEW) -- though if it'll only be called once, I
find ACTGRP(*NEW) much more elegant.
If you want to avoid activation groups and pretend that it's still the
1980's, you can code a special parameter to ProgramB to tell it to turn
*INLR on, which will close it's files.
