Barbara,

Thanks for the correction...

So having a *SRVPGM run in the DAG via ACTGRP(*CALLER) is a bad idea...

But is it a good/bad/indifferent idea to have a ILE *PGM
[DFTACTGRP(*NO)] run in the DAG [via ACTGRP(*CALLER)]?


I guess I'd put it at indifferent. One possible downside is that once a *CALLER program is called into the DAG, it's static storage will never be released until the job ends. With a named activation group, you can release the static storage by reclaiming the actgrp.

Even having a srvpgm run in the DAG doesn't seem like it's necessarily a bad idea. It only causes a severe problem if it uses files and if RCLRSC is used to close the files.
