Maybe I'm wrong but the way I understand it is that RPG IV is the version of RPG that supports ILE, but that
just by using the coding techniques, ie. %found, doesn't make it a true ILE program.

Actually, you're half-right. The second half. Just using the extensions doesn't make it a true ILE program.

Using the COMPILER makes it a true ILE program.

There is no OPM compiler for RPG IV. When you do an Option 14 on RPGLE source, and prompt it, it comes back with the Create *Bound* RPG Program prompt screen. The key word is "Bound." That means that under the covers, it compiles to a module, in the batch job's QTEMP, then feeds that module into the ILE linkage editor (the same one invoked from CRTPGM, if you're linking manually).

When you STRDBG on the program, which debugger comes up? ILE (and if you didn't specify *ALL or *SOURCE for debugging information, you won't be able to see or do very much).

When you do a DSPPGM on the program, which set of displays comes up? ILE (and if you go through to the 3rd display, the module list, you'll find that the program was linked from a module in QTEMP).
