RE: RPG compiled with ACTGRP(*NEW)

Hi,

I use a file field getter that retains the key. On a subsequent call
with the same key it remembers it has read the file already and just
returns the file field without another read (unless you force a read)

May not be the best example, and the details are a little fuzy, but....

I put together a process that consisted of three parts....while I could
not control the order in which the parts would be invoked I needed to do
something after all three had been invoked.

By using my own activation group, I could retain which parts had been
completed (in a module level variable), once all three were done I could
do what I needed to do.

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?
