Are your op codes in column 28 and your result indicators in columns 54-59? Can 
you MOVE *ON *IN99? If you answered yes to both questions, you are indeed using 
RPGIII. If you answered no to the second, you are using RPGII, and if you 
answered no the first, you are using RPGIV.

RPGIV is not the same as ILE. ILE is a layer below the application programs. It 
is an environment that supports, among other things, bound calls, activation 
groups and service programs. RPGIV is an application programming language that 
can be used in this environment.
