The MAIN says do not bind the RPG cycle. You could not use an IP with
a Main program because it does not have an RPG cycle. IF is under your
control and is valid in a MAIN program.

The MAIN keyword is just acknowledging a reality that has been true
for 20 years. 99.9% of the programs that we write do not use the cycle
so why add the overhead to a program to run it when we don't use it.

What does the MAIN op code do or mean? Is the file IP, input primary?
When a file is IF, then it does not have much effect on the cycle.


Thank you,
