Jay, how often is this service program called? If a lot, you are looking at
a huge amount of overhead. Creating a new activation group takes a lot of
resources, only maybe second to creating a job.

If this service program is called a lot and changes frequently, you might
consider using a dynamic load of a service program. The API are
encapsulated in a service program that is available for download from the
Think400 website.
