2. Is there such a thing as an IBM midrange system with a CL compiler
but no RPG compiler? Like, can you even buy the CL compiler without
the RPG compiler? (If the CL compiler is always included with the
system no matter what, and the RPG compiler is an extra-cost option,
then I consider the answer to be "yes".)

True. CRTCLPGM is included with the OS. If you do not have an editor
(SEU, RDP or whatever) you can always use EDTF.
RPG and editors cost extra.

We also have LPARs we do not include the RPG compiler on solely to
encourage sticking within change management.

However, this isn't the sole reason. It's sometimes a balance of what you
are doing. If what you are doing is

read table until end;
process a CL command based upon that row;

Then do you code your read in CL to ease processing that command and
MONMSG, etc?
Or do you code your read in RPG and use one of the command API's and
process error return codes?
