RE: Files open in service programs

["Monnier, Gary" <Gary.Monnier@xxxxxxxxx>]

James,

Yea, that is one of those "It depends." questions.

Are the RPG program and service program running in an activation group
that is reclaimed when the RPG program ends?

Are the RPG program and service program running in the same activation
group but the activation group is not reclaimed until the job ends?

Is the service program running in a separate activation group than the
RPG?

Question that could take me all day to answer empirically:

> If an RPG program calls a service program that leaves files open, then

> the program ends with SETON LR, should the files opened in the service

> program remain open, within the job that called the program?
