Re: AW: program won't let go of file

 Hi, Birgitta:

What you describe for the behavior of LR in RPG IV is true when the 
RPGLE program was *not* compiled with:

    CRTBNDRPG ... ACTGRP(*DFTACTGRP)

ACTGRP(*DFTACTGRP) is only available on CRTBNDCL and CRTBNDRPG, and 
causes extra code to be generated into the *PGMs so that those programs 
will behave as if they are OPM programs running in the default 
activation group.  They can be reclaimed with RCLRSC.

That is why I like to say that ACTGRP(*DFTACTGRP) specifies the program 
is to run "in OPM compatibility mode."

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury
