Re: CRTBNDCL DEFAULT WDSC

Hi, Jeff:

AFAIK, this is because COBOL does not support running in the default 
activation group. Period. End of story.

Perhaps Jon Paris can comment on why that is.  I think it has something 
to do with how the behavior of the COBOL "run unit" is specified in the 
ANSI Standards for COBOL.

By the way, the CRTBNDC command does not support the use of the default 
activation group either, for much the same reasons (the ANSI standards 
for C specify certain behavior for C "main" programs.)

Only CRTBNDRPG and CRTBNDCL support the DFTACTGRP(*YES or *NO) parameter.

All the best,
