Re: ILE and locked file

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Besides calling the *SRVPGM procedures...

What else are the CLLE *PGM's doing?

I too suspect there's a problem running the *CALLER CLLE in the (poorly
named) default activation group (DAG).

For instance, if you are calling the CLLE from the command line, then it
would get activated into the DAG.  Running ILE code it the DAG is one of
Jon Paris' 7 deadly sins of ILE.

Also as mentioned, best practice would be to have the SRVPGM as *CALLER.
Your CLLE should be either a named activation group or *NEW.
