Within the logic cycle you have less control over the processing than
using full procedural files.

That's true. But, the same could be said of lots of things... With RPG's file I/O, you have less control over the processing than if you resolved a system pointer to the file and wrote your own routines to handle the database i/o.

But, there's some advantage to having the system do part of the work for you. It reduces errors, and reduces the time it takes to write your applications.

And the same is true for the cycle. If you use it the way it was designed to be used, it saves you time.

Use it where it provides you with an advantage. Don't use the pieces that don't provide an advantage.


Basically the logic cycles "controls" your primary (secondary ir
mathcing records) based on your "F" specs.  The ONLY benefit to using
the logic cycle IMO (again <vbg>) is to use less code for doing level
breaking (which it does well...but I digress..).

If that's your definition of the cycle, then *INZSR isn't part of it, and therefore *INZSR is not a relic of the cycle, it's a valuable tool.

But again, it's only valuable if used properly. Using it for PLISTs and KLISTs is stupid. Not to mention that both PLISTs and KLISTs are obsolete constructs.

*INZSR, however, still has some value. I don't use it very frequently, but when I need it, I'm glad it's there.
