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.

We had an issue with a vendor using RCLACTGRP *ELIGIBLE in their code once and when they were unable to figure out how to remove it we had to come up with an alternative.


To resolve it I ended up writing an Exit Program for RCLACTGRP and set with QIBM_QCA_CHG_COMMAND.
The program passes through any calls with specific activation groups, and captures any *ELIGIBLE calls to RCLACTGRP.

I use QWVOLAGP and then process the list of List of Activation Groups so I can run the reclaim on each one specifically.
That way I can omit all of our named activation groups. This works since our named groups generally all have known character prefixes.

That might work for you if you were unable to change all the programs.
Although you would need to know the name of the activation group.
The exit program resides in our own system library ahead of QSYS.

LOL Jon - it wasn't me! I'm definitely passing on that we need to get

rid of this. Another developer found 35 programs that have it, put there

by a now-retired guy, so far as I know.



It will be made so!



If I have anything to say about it!
