AW: Sending Escape Message from service program without killing it with MCH3402

Hi,

I assume your program is running in the default activation group and your
service program is created with activation group *CALLER.

If so, the only solution I know to use a named activation group for your
program (or service program).
Running real ILE (service) programs in the default activation will cause a
lot of problems.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Betreff: Sending Escape Message from service program without killing it with
MCH3402

I've an export procedure in a service program that will send an *ESCAPE
message to the caller when encountered a particular type of fatal error.
The caller has a choice of monitor for the *escape message or, in most
case, just error out. I'm having a problem on caller that monitor for
the *escape message. When the *escape message is monitored by the
caller, subsequent call from the caller to the procedure in the service
program is being error out with MCH3402. Is there a way to get around
this?


thanks
