That statement doesn't make sense.  changing the service program to
ACTGRP(*CALLER) would have no effect if every program using it still had
ACTGRP(MYCOMPANY)

A more likely scenario is that you'd create a new program with
ACTGRP(MYPGM) or ACTGRP(*NEW) that tried to make use of procedures from an
existing service program that had ACTGRP(MYCOMPANY)...now you have trouble.
 Now you have to change all *SRVPGM program (used by this new program) to
*CALLER

Is it really so hard to remember 2 rules...
*PGM ACTGRP(MYCOMPANY)
*SRVPGM ACTGRP(*CALLER)

Instead of the one?
