Barbara,

Thanks for the correction.

So do you have an example of where *CALLER would pose a problem for a program?

Or is an ILE program running in the default activation group via
*CALLER not so bad as long as no service programs are being used?

For example, RCLRSC doesn't correctly handle the resources of a ILE

program's files get closed but the program remains active and as far
as the program knows, its files are still open.

That's only true for service programs. When a *CALLER _program_ was
running in the default activation group, RCLRSC would cause the program
to get reinitialized on the next call.
