All,
For an ILE program with ACTGRP(*CALLER) called from *DFTACTGRP, what
activation group does it run in?
If the ILE program is RPGLE and ends with *INLR = *On, do all files get
closed and record locks released?

If an RPG program ends with *INLR = *ON, then all files get closed and record locks released, independent of the activation group.

To be more precise, if the program has more than one module, setting on *INLR in the main module would only affect files and record locks in that module. If other modules had files open, they would stay open until the activation group ends.

- If the program is in actgrp *NEW, the actgrp ends when the program ends.
- If the program is in *CALLER called from the command line, the actgrp ends when the job ends.
- Otherwise, for a named activation group, the actgrp ends when it's reclaimed, and also sometimes when a program in the actgrp ends with an unhandled exception.
