Re: Activation Groups/SQL Suggestions

Barbara Morris
If *CALLER means the default activation group, RCLRSC isn't ignored, but
what it does isn't always good. It closes files opened by the programs
and service programs running in the default actgrp. For *PGM objects,
it marks them to be re-initialized on the next call. For *SRVPGM
objects, it doesn't do anything. So if you have a *SRVPGM running in
the default activation group due to *CALLER, and you do RCLRSC, the
files will get closed but the srvpgm will think they are open. Then
when the SRVPGM later tries to do I/O on the file, it will fail with
MCH3402 "Tried to refer to an object that no longer exists".

Thanks for the warning Barbara. This would have probably bitten us
eventually.

I have removed the RCLSRC(*) for safety's sake.
