Quick question - if I have a file in a module that specifies NOMAIN, the
compiler warns me that I should manually close the file.  However, my
procedure has ACTGRP(*CALLER) and is called by a program that specifies
ACTGRP(*NEW).

Am I correct in thinking that when the calling program ends, the file will
be closed?  I don't know where I got this idea, but it seems to me that
ending an activation group closes any files opened in that activation group.

Is this true?  Are there exceptions?

Joe
