D Field S 9p 2

Would give you the same result. You don't need the Inz keyword when
you're setting a single variable to its default state.

When a procedure is called, it initializes all local variables (unless
Static is specified, though I personally don't use that much at all, if
ever).

Subject: Procedure Initialization

Naturally, in the D-spec of mainline, if I use the INZ( ) keyword, the
field is initialized to that value when the program starts.


Apparently I never thought I needed INZ( ) in a procedure's D-spec, but
this morning I was writing one where it fits. If I code:

D Field S 9p 2 INZ(*Zeros)

does "Field" get set to zeros each time the procedure is invoked?


Of course asking the question now is just a sign of laziness as I would
find out when I test the program. Sometimes, though, a preemptive
strike is productive.
