Actually, RCLRSC will remove both OPM and ILE programs if they are in the default activation group.

The problem is service programs. Since RCLRSC does not understand service programs, it'll see the open files and close them, but it'll leave the service programs in memory, and the service programs won't understand that their files have been closed. So next time they access a file they'll end up accessing memory they aren't supposed to be using. Usually, this causes them to crash with an ugly error.

ILE activation groups work MUCH better for ILE programs than the default activation group. I don't understand why, after 18 years of ILE, there are still people who do foolish things like run ILE programs in the default activation group. Stubbornness never to learn anything new?! What else could it be?

The default activation group cannot be ended within a job, but only by
ending a job.
When executing the RCLSRC (reclaim resources) OPM programs are removed while
ILE programs are not. This may cause a lot of problems.
... avoid using RCLRSC at least if there are ILE (service) programs running
within the default activation group
