RE: File open problem

Thanks Scott,

I think I've learned the rule should be :

Use RCLRSC only if everything is running in the DAG. All RPGLE and CLLE should be compiled to run in the DAG.
and RCLACTGRP for ACTGRP.

Now if there was a written warning from IBM somewhere..
I'd like to be able to say that Scott Klement says so. Although you are known to the shop, not many seem to read many RPG articles.

Hi David,

This normally happens when a service program is set up with
ACTGRP(*CALLER), and gets called from the DAG. RCLRSC
doesn't understand service programs, but it does understand
files. so it closes the files, but leaves the service
program loaded, and thinking that it's
file is still open. Next time the service program runs, it goes
haywire, referring to memory that's either freed up, or in
use for a different purpose.

I can't see how *INLR would help.

This issue is why most/all ILE experts tell people to use
named activation groups instead of using ACTGRP(*CALLER) for
all ILE PGM objects.
