correct?  I also thought RCLRSC had no effect, but Scott mentions that it
will cause variables to be re-initialized even if *INLR was *OFF.  Is there
any other effects?

The program stays active until the job ends. You might switch the environment or compile a new version, but when you call it you get the original version. The biggest problem with the whole situation is that you will probably get away with it most of the time. But when something goes wrong you'll have a hell of a time finding out what caused it.

When are resources deallocated when using a named activation group?

Obviously when the job ends, but it can also be done with RCLACTGRP.

Biggest question...what do I use in place of DFTACTGRP(*NO) ACTGRP(*CALLER)
when most of my ILE programs are called from and may call OPM programs???

Should I use *NEW unless the program is called repeatedly?
Should I have all ILE simply use a single named activation group ('QILE')?

I would use a named activation group, either QILE or something else. QILE should be fine, unless you mix with another application that uses the same setup.
