Oops. Premature send. I think I've been hacked. Weird keys doing weird
things. Yikes...

Anyhow, if what you mean by initial value is the first value that the
developer puts in the field (because a field's initial value is the
default for that type - e.g., character is blank, numeric is 0, etc.),
then that's not correct. It's the value as it exists at the end of the
*InzSr subroutine. So if the first time the developer stores a value in
the field is in the C-specs outside the *InzSr, that value will not be
used for Reset. Instead, the default value for the type (because it
wasn't set by the developer in *InzSr) is used.
