Here's what's happening:

Within a program, if the RPG logic cycle reaches *GETIN and the
*INLR indicator is on, then total calcs are performed and the
program terminates, which includes closing all the open files
in the program.

When you return from a procedure within a module, you never
reach *GETIN, and so you don't perform the program termination
logic.  That's why the files stay open even though you set *INLR
on.

Here are some ways to code what you want:  1) Code USROPN on the
F-Spec, and explicitly open and close the file.  Or 2) Check if
the file is open at the beginning of the procedure, and open it
if it's not already open.  Then close the file when done.
