RPG-CGI using commitment control

[hrabar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We are running into a problem trying to use commitment control in web based
programs.

We are in the process of porting are "green screen" programs to our web. In
the old 5250 world, we created our files with share(*yes) and all of the
"important" files
were opened with commitment control.

Most of our early web based programs were used to just display data to the
users. We are now starting to bring our maintenance/updating programs over
and are running into
problems. The HTTP server job(s) keep files open after the rpg has ended.
This was causing open errors when we tried to open a file with commitment
control and the job had
the file open without it. We got around this by using user open/ovrdbf
share(*no) in the rpg.

As we expand and are adding calls to existing programs(Printing forms for
example) we are having the same open problems. We do not want to recreate
these programs just to add/remove the commitment control.

Anyone have any advice on how to get around this?

Should we start the programs running in different activation groups
(New/Caller/Default)?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
