RE: ILE questions: activation groups, rpg-cgi, classic web server.

The biggest issue here, is that *NEW causes the activation group to be
created each time the program or service program is used in a job. Not
each time a procedure is called within a service program, but each time
the program that uses the service program is created.

A named activation group is somewhat "static". And is reused each time
the program is called.
