This helps explain some aspects of the observed behaviour. I have noticed that debug on ILE programs often gets its tits in a tangle. It used to be that debug didn't interfere with program operation but in the ILE world it now seems to be more intrusive than in OPM. This sort of thing happens on other platforms frequently (e.g., run without debug and error occurs, run with debug to resolve error and program runs OK).

Even though activation groups are scoped to each job (excluding shared activation groups) debug does seem to "remember" stuff and seems to have a "quantum effect" between jobs when debugging the same program. When debug starts behaving this way for me I just signoff all sessions and that cleans things up. Shouldn't have to do that of course but unless repeatable there is little point opening a PMR on it.
