OP please don't.  Calling a PGMB that uses ACTGRP(*NEW) in a loop is going
to hurt.
Not quite as bad as submitting PGMB to batch, but still, never a good idea.

If you've ever had IBM perform a performance analysis on your system, one
of the key things they report on is activation group creation and
destruction.
Why?  Because it's resource intensive, requiring CPU and IO and also drives
up DB full opens.
