With V3R1 IBM introduced RPG IV (aka ILE RPG) which has the 112 spec length and the extended factor 2 etc. While it was stupidly referred to as ILE RPG/400 in some quarters of IBM those of us involved in the launch always favored RPG IV for the simple reason that RPG IV programs do not have to be ILE programs. In fact, the vast majority (compiled with PDM 14 and standard defaults) are not really ILE programs at all but rather they are fake OPM programs.
V3R2 introduced subprocedures and off we went!
End of brief history lesson
