Joe, the file will get closed when the activation group ends.

Files opened by a NOMAIN module behave the same as files opened by a
non-NOMAIN module that ends with LR off.  (From the system's point of
view, one RPG module or procedure is the same as another.)

I think, but I'm not sure, that when job-scoped commitment control is
involved, the file would be logically closed for RPG, but would actually
stay open from a WRKJOB point of view until the changes were committed.
