If program A calls program B and program B runs in activation group *caller, the *caller activation group still exists, even after program B sets on LR and returns.  Setting LR *ON will close your files, but not delete the activation group or clean up the memory allocated to it.  However if program A is running in activation group *new and sets on LR and returns, then the activation group used by both programs A and B is deleted.

If SCHEDULING is being used by any other program in the JOB, then no, but yes it will be deleted if no other program is using it.
