I basiscally agree with your suggestion, except:

I would recommend that you avoid using QILE.  It's a very small thing -- 
but I suggest instead of specifying QILE, you use an activation group 
named after your company.  Such as ACTGRP('BWWHOLE') (For B&W 
Wholesale).  It will work EXACTLY the same way as QILE.  But, if you 
install 3rd party software, it might mistakenly reclaim QILE and reclaim 
your programs without you realizing it, or you might mistakenly reclaim 
their programs.  It's much less likely that a 3rd party would name their 
actgrp BWWHOLE....     Like I said, it's a very small thing, with a very 
small likelihood of mattering to anyone -- but it's so easy to specify 
ACTGRP('BWWHOLE') instead of ACTGRP('QILE') that you might as well do it...

Second... I would suggest adding using OPTION(*SRCSTMT)  (so you'll have 
OPTION(*SRCSTMT:*NODEBUGIO))  That way, when an error occurs and the 
error message reports a program statement number, the statement number 
will match your source code.
