Re: How do I reclaim service program activation group and reuse

path much more flexible and useful in the long run..."

This feels like an intervention... everyone gathered around firmly urging me to 
reload the data and not reclaim the activation group...  My name is Jerry, and 
I'm a recovering RPGII cycle programmer.

OK, OK.  I'll write the reloadXrefCache procedure and skip the reclaim 
activation group... but I'm getting a latte afterwards.  Thanks for the advice.

Regards,
Jerry

Better living through fine code and hot coffee!
