Who knew you could do that with RPG IV?

"A *NEW activation group is completely deleted when the program ends 
abnormally or when it returns to its caller (even without the LR indicator 
turned on).  This is important when calling a program recursively and also 
when you test a new program.  You do not need to sign off or use an 
RCLACTGRP command to end the activation group as youwould have to with a 
named activation group."

RPG compiled with ACTGRP(*NEW)






Hi,

PGM A compiled with ACTGRP(A) calls PGM B compiled with ACTGRP(*NEW);

Does *INLR have to be *ON in PGM B so that  its activation group 
disappears on returning to PGM A?
IF it ends with RETURN, is the activation group still alive?

Thanks.
