Which would indicate that you have no reliance on the COBOL run unit within your code. In that case there is usually not a problem.

The only issue we have had is with the default activation group of ILE
programs being QILE. We solved this by changing the compiler default to
*CALLER.

In my opinion this is a really bad idea. There's a reason for the default - ILE programs were never designed to run in the default Activation Group. While you may well get away with it, in the long run it will bite you in the behind big time. Ultimately, you have to be far more familiar with ILE to run ILE programs safely in the default AG than if you deal with the issues that running in QILE caused you.
