RE: how to find which are RPG cycle programs

In a way, they all are.

Check the RPG IV (ILE) Reference manual on V5R2 InfoCenter for a full 
discussion of the program cycle. In the detailed chart you will see a point 
where it checks for a primary file - if not, it skips lots of stuff. So the 
"cycle" is, in a way of speaking, always used.

Position 18 on the F-SPEC controls this. Has to at least be one primary, so 
'P' in that position. Can have secondaries, with 'S' in that position.

NOMAIN in the H-SPECs suppresses cycle code generation. In ILE only.

Use the cycle to handle input - it's the best, at least easiest way to do a 
lot of stuff in RPG. IMHO  If you've done native record IO in C, you can 
learn to love the cycle. And F-specs.  >8-()
