Not true. There is only one case when this is true and that is when the        
program is compiled with the DFLTACTGRP *YES - i.e. it is not a "real"         
ILE program. In _all_ other cases the storage is tied to the AG and is         
only released when the AG terminates. In the case of the default AG            
this means when the job ends. From the programmers perspective this is         
not obvious since the compiler "fakes" the correct behaviour for LR on.

See above - the status of LR has no bearing on this. Your point about          
RCLRSC is correct - only RCLACTGRP (or CEETREK etc.) will kill an AG

calls Program B, what affect does this have on Service Program C?              


ones with many routines?                                                       

7. Is it more important to understand and use Activation Groups in a RISC      
environment than in a CISC?

Carl,                                                                          
You are correct.  I actually posted to the list an item critical of IBM's      
unwillingness to sell the modem, other than with a new AS/400, and suggested   
people buy the MT2834BA directly from MultiTech instead.  Apparently the       
7852-400 modem was originally release a a 'feature code' (feature 0032) of     
as AS/400 order.  About 2 months ago however they announced it as available    
separately, and also decreased the price.
