Re: RPG compiled with ACTGRP(*NEW)

Hi, David:

The answer is "*NO*" .... the activation group will be automatically 
reclaimed/deleted when the program returns, regardless of the setting of 
"LR" :-o
(ACTGRP is a feature of the OS that applies to all *PGMs, not just RPG 
IV...)

You should carefully consider whether it is appropriate to use 
ACTGRP(*NEW) ... if the program is called repeatedly in a given job, the 
overhead can be significant.
