Thanks for the great response Jon.

Currently, our initial programs launch a menu system, which in turn launches 
all of our applications. The initial program and entire menu system have 
been converted to ILE (even if that meant simply recompling a CLP as CLLE), 
and all are ACTGRP(*CALLER).  I am going to change the initial program to 
ACTGRP(*NEW) or a named group and see how that affects things.

Actually, RCLRSC(*) seemed to do a good job of cleaning up, but it could 
have been cleaning up remnants from some OPMs that we noticed.  I will add 
RCLACTGRP and see if that squashes our remaining stragglers.

This one will need some more research on our part.  After changing an app 
yesterday to *CALLER it started generating errors when attempting to 
validate the delivery address with UPS via an HTTPAPI procedure we use. 
Removing *CALLER fixed it.  I was not the programmer working on it, so I 
need to get more specifics on why it did not work and what the errors were.

Thanks again,
