It was changed several releases ago! IIRK between V5R3M0 to V5R4M0.
Originally programs being compiled with CRTBNDRPG and default activation
group *NO was set per default to activation group *NEW.
The activation group option in the CRTPGM command was also originally set to
*NEW.

I forget whether the change was made in 6.1 or 7.1 (or maybe even
earlier). For a program compiled with DFTACTGRP(*NO), the ACTGRP

end
up being QILE by default.
Just to clarify this, the ACTGRP always defaulted to QILE with
DFTACTGRP(*NO).
The CRTBNDRPG command changed in 7.1, from _showing_ QILE as the
default, to showing *STGMDL. But since *STGMDL means "QILE" with the
default value for the STGMDL parameter, the activation group default
didn't actually change.
Barbara,
Thanks for clarifying that point. Perhaps I was confused by remembering the
CRTPGM defaults. (Of course I could have these wrong, too.) I know the
ACTGRP(*ENTMOD) is now the default on CRTPGM. For RPGLE, CBLLE, and CLLE,
"ACTGRP(*ENTMOD)" will use QILE (or QILETS when teraspace-enabled). I could
be wrong, but I think the CRTPGM default used to be ACTGRP(*NEW).
Now a "*NEW" activation group is only used when the entry module is not
RPGLE, CBLLE, or CLLE.
Anyway, thanks again for clarifying.
