Dan,
If you use ILE, and have your ILE CL in the same (non-dftactgrp) activation
group as your ILE RPG, there will be no RPG inquiry message.  The RPG program
will just stop (although a cancel handler will run if you have enabled one).
Any other programs in the program stack between the CL and the RPG will also
just stop without ceremony.

If you don't use ILE, you have to trap RPG errors in the RPG program (pssr,
infsr).

As Bob warns, this is a very dangerous technique if you don't code the MONMSG
handler correctly, and if you don't use cancel handlers (luckily, cancel
handlers are much easier to use than condition handlers ...)
