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.

I see. Well, it can't be that bad because I didn't note anything adverse happening, so far. I admit that I rarely use those commands anyway.

"can cause major problems" sounds akin to "cause problems of some sort" in the The Seven Deadly Sins of ILE article. This is rather unspecific, don't you think?

I understand that (according to your Seven Deadly Sins article), the possibility of pulling an AG from a program from anyone's call stack is possible, making the programs crash if they gain access to the CPU again. I feel this is a design flaw in the operating system. Resources being used should never be prone to be reclaimed with *eligible. Because if they are in use, they by definition aren't eligible for being discarded.

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.

Got it. That was a misunderstanding from me.

But apart from omitting sin 1 — don't run ILE applications in the default AG because of possible unspecified problems —, what is the benefit to use an arbitrary named AG for applications which have nothing to do with each other but run on the same system? Especially when considering those applications not making use of ILE features like service programs and multiple modules?
