What normally happens when you don't close files and
return with LR off?  If you're doing sequential reads
to the file, you'll resume reading where you left off
the last time in, right?

A NOMAIN service program is more or less just like a
traditional RPG program that returns with LR off.  The
only difference is that since the bulk of the RPG
cycle logic is gone, you don't have the automatic
closing of files.
