Fifth deadly sin: Failing to use RCLACTGRP only when necessary and using
RCLACTGRP(*ELIGIBLE) in production code.
...

For sure I would never use *ELIGIBLE in production code.

I would never use that while debugging either. I used to think it would save time to use RCLACTGRP *ELIGIBLE instead of signing off and signing back on and redoing all my setup. But I had a couple of painful debugging sessions, where I thought the bug was in my new code, but it was actually caused by "saving time" with RCLACTGRP *ELIGIBLE. I kept trying new changes in my code to locate or fix the bug, and things just got worse and worse.
