 >> ... but was compiled with *CALLER and was called by an OPM program, what
functionality is actually lost as compared to when that same program is
called by an ILE program running in a named activation group?

No functionality is lost.  There are however a whole set of "interesting"
problems that can arise with regard to use of service programs, closing of
files, replacing the program, etc. etc.  But then again - many people seem
to do it all the time with no ill effect.
