Charles and Phil,

You could easily (inadvertently) get that *SRVPGM activated into more than one activation group.  This can affect override scoping, etc.  :-/

If the programs issue OVRDBFs, it may not always give the expected result, due to poor defaults chosen for OVRDBF with respect to ACTGRP scoping.

If the *SRVPGM is ACTGRP(*CALLER) they could easily call procedures from within a program that itself runs in the *DFTACTGRP, and as you well know, this is almost never "a good thing."

You might also have other programs invoking this same *SRVPGM from some other *NEW or named AG, such as QILE, etc., and then you could easily have more than one copy of the same *SRVPGM "activated" within the same job  (but not in the same AG).  Then you will likely have a bad day.

Things only get worse as you try to follow that rabbit down the rabbit hole.

Just saying ...

Mark S. Waterbury

One or more of those statements is incorrect.  (unless maybe you're way

I suppose that's a bit harsh and not the best way of putting it...

Point being, SETLL and READE work the same way every time.  So there's
something else going on.
