I would think the default, without any qualification, would be considered IBM i. PASE would be a needed qualifier.
I assumed you were meaning CL/CLP or similar. Remember, CPF was the name of the operating system starting back in the System/38 days.
While the AS/400 was in development, CPF was referred to (internally to IBM as I recall) as XPF and, when released, came out as OS/400.
I was at COMMON before AS/400 was announced and one of the Rochester developers, in a conversation, referred to XPF and immediately caught himself and corrected to CPF. Several of us looked at each other and he said something to the effect of "Forget you heard that".

As to IBM not touching CPF, that's not quite true either, they continue to update and inovate constantly.
I have not said "not touching", as in "never".
We just now call it IBM i instead of CPF (control program facility).
What is the correct and least ambiguous way to differ between the native CL/CPF environment and PASE with the least amount of typing? :-)
:wq! PoC
