Be VERY careful using *ELIGIBLE especially in a production
environment. You will kill any user activation group that
currently does not have active programs or procedures.


Thanks for that, Simon. I suspected my mistake as soon as I pushed the send email button.


If a
procedure is using the activation group to retain state (a
common, intended, and desirable use of activation groups) you
will have a, possibly unfavourable, learning experience.

That looks very interesting. Anyone have an example of retaining state? What is being retained exactly? Would that be the way to go to store variables that one wanted to use globally to all activation groups?
