Re: Shared File Opens Between OPM and ILE Call

Nope, turned out when they converted the program from OPM to ILE, they were compiling the code to NOT be in the same activation group.

For those who care, shared opens don't appear to carry across activation groups.

OVRSCOPE(*JOB) ?

We have a couple of old programs where an OPM program opens a print
file and does a return to keep it open.

Then subsequent programs share the print file because an OVRPRTF with
SHARE(*YES) is used.

The app is used to merge spool files.

One of our developers recently updated one of the called programs to
be ILE instead of OPM.

This creates a new spool file (which is what I would expect because of
the activation group).

If there a way to share that file open between OPN and ILE programs ?

Possible keeping the ILE call in the same activation group ?

Any thoughts appreciated.
