Re: MAIN and LR

Even when I used IF or input full procedural, it was still followed a
program cycle to a degree. You had to end the program yourself.


Thank you,

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.
