I'm with Bob...

As far as I'm concerned, you can have RPG IV without ILE....that's
kind of the whole point to DFTACTGRP(*YES) isn't it?

I wish IBM had some official names for the styles...but they don't.

However, it seems pretty well accepted what one means by non-ILE RPGIV...

In my mind I break things down like so
RPGIII+ --> RPGIII source run through CVTRPGSRC
RPGIV ---> RPGIV op-codes & bifs, but with DFTACTGRP(*YES)
ILE RPG ---> use of service program and/or multiple modules

In fact, when I interview someone, I provide my definitions and ask
them to rate themselves...it's amazing how many people have "ILE RPG"
on their resumes without any experience with RPGIV specific op-codes
or bifs.
