If nothing else, would some sort of ILE CL "leader" module
be possible, that would force the library list into the
required shape, then call the RPG main with the unaltered
trigger parameters? (I'm still not particularly up on what
can and can't be done with ILE CL)

If you get an implicit open error, you can't get control within the RPG
program.  So you have to either set up the library list before you call
the RPG program, or you have to use USROPN.

It would work fine to use a CL module that calls the RPG module.  The CL
would define its parameters the same as the RPG; it would do the libl
business and then pass the parameters through to the RPG module (use
CALLPRC instead of CALL in the CL, to call the RPG procedure).

Or you could even keep the RPG program as a program, and have a CL
trigger program call through to your RPG program.

(I think that it would be easiest by far to just make the files USROPN.)
