Re: MCH3402 received when calling getHtmlIfsMult

Thanks, Chris, I'll keep this in mind. I was thinking something similar, 
to get the list while running the programs.

In our case, all the programs are ours, we will know which named 
activation groups we have used - the one that CGIDEV2 service program 
uses, that we can let be.

So far, the one program that we changed is working fine. I'm told that 
some of these were used by someone now retired, to get around files 
still locked when doing backups. We'll look into that further for that 
situation, probably not immediately, due to other demands on our team's 
time.

Regards
Vern
