If you are using activation groups, then I think you have to say it is ILE. Service programs and multiple modules are one aspect of ILE, but "ILE" doesn't entail them.

Whether DFTACTGRP(*YES) is ILE or not is a grey area for me. On the one hand, it is an ILE program with a module that is bound to the RPG runtime service programs. On the other hand, the system does treat a DFTACTGRP(*YES) program like an OPM program in some ways.

I think there is some confusion caused by the multiple ways that RPG programmers use the term "ILE". Some use it the way it is used in say the ILE Concepts manual, short for "Integrated Language Environment". Some use it as the name for a flavour of RPG coding. "How do you code that in ILE?", using "ILE" as a short form for "ILE RPG".
