Hello! We use this quite often in interactive applications. Typically, we will code "one time only" (field definitions and such) in *INZSR, and create another subroutine that initializes all other variables. This second subroutine is called every time the program begins. Not setting on *INLR is of great use whenever you have one program that repeatedly calls another since you save on the opening/closing of the files.
