Hello all,

I’ve arrived at a new company and run into a bit of a fix. Hard to believe,
but there are no development standards and everyone seems to do as he
pleases. Most are still writing new programs in fixed form RPG. As I’ve had
to work alone with very little time or coaching, I’ve done as I always
have, preferring sub procedures to subroutines. When I came to compiling I
got blocked by the error caused by not specifying dftactgrp(*no), which I’d
forgotten about (I’ve been away a long time). To get round this, I
specified the value **no, and added actgrp(**caller) in the h-specs.

During testing, when I noticed that my files and cursors were remaining
open (and remembered also this behavior), it suddenly hit me why up till
now I’ve only come across dynamic program calls in this shop. I can get
round the problem of the files, but can’t see a way of closing my cursors.
Can anybody advise me? Should I just convert all my procedures to back to
routines?

*Thanks *
