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?
You're right that it's not so bad.
One possible downside is that the system never deallocates the static
storage allocated to a *CALLER program running in the default activation
group. So if you have a long-running job where several different
applications get run, there's a potential of running out of storage. I
have no idea if that's a real concern or not; I don't recall ever
hearing about that happening.
Another more probable downside is that building a dependency on running
in the default activation group as *CALLER limits future use of service
programs for that application. But the limitation isn't obvious, so a
*CALLER=DFT service program could go into production with the problem
waiting to surface at the most inconvenient time.
