Right, the RPG program just has an object reference.  RPG doesn't check
the class of an object; it just passes the reference to Java and lets
Java determine whether the object is of the right class.

The compile time checking on the CLASS keyword for a constructor is the
only class checking that the RPG compiler does.  (You don't have to code
the CLASS keyword for a constructor.)
