Re: Which H-specs CTL-OPT do you use?

RCLRSC - another deadly sin in the world of ILE. RCLACTGRP if you need, but RCLRSC doesn't actually do everything that people think it does in an ILE environment and can cause major problems.

QILE was not an error in documentation or anything else. It was a deliberate attempt by IBM to stop people from falling into the problems caused by inadvertent use of *NEW.

And by all means, avoid the default activation group and QILE - both are hard to handle and only "recoverable" by signing off / ending the job.

QILE seems to be the result of early misunderstandings of AGs, and a bad default value, or documentation example. :-)

Anyway, rclrsc AFAIR does much of the cleansing a sign-off does. I have been told about another command doing likewise, but I forgot about it.

:wq! PoC
