Dane, basic ILE won't help you.  The workings of *INLR are an RPG-only
thing.  The RPG doesn't know or care how your module is going to be used
in your application (standalone program, main module of program, sub
module of program, srvpgm module); it generates the code for the RPG
cycle exactly the same in every module that doesn't have NOMAIN coded. 
(In modules that do have NOMAIN coded, *INLR is irrelevant.)
