Barbara Morris of IBM's RPG compiler team (and others) has
stated many times that rclactgrp *eligible is a very bad idea
in production code.

In a development environment, it's ok...but her suggestion is
to simply sign off and back on instead.

There's a reason it's not listed as an option when you prompt
the RCLACTGRP command.

Thanks all, and thanks for reminding me of that book.

I was asking as I was considering *NEW instead of a named

group, as I don't know the name of the group to reclaim after
execution. I stumbled across rclactgrp *eligible that seems
to do what I need.

Just one thing, the help after execution of rclactgrp

*eligible states :

ID message . . . . . . : CPC0912
... The activation groups were deleted because they were

not active and the job was not in debug mode..

However, I am in debug mode. Am I misunderstanding something here?

David,

From SG24-5402-00 Page 90

Who knew you could do that with RPG IV?

"A *NEW activation group is completely deleted when the

program ends

abnormally or when it returns to its caller (even without the LR
indicator turned on). This is important when calling a program
recursively and also when you test a new program. You do

not need to

sign off or use an RCLACTGRP command to end the activation

group as

youwould have to with a named activation group."

RPG compiled with ACTGRP(*NEW)






Hi,

PGM A compiled with ACTGRP(A) calls PGM B compiled with

ACTGRP(*NEW);

Does *INLR have to be *ON in PGM B so that its activation group
disappears on returning to PGM A?
IF it ends with RETURN, is the activation group still alive?

Thanks.
