Executing a SubProcedure before #Main

 >> When would I want to ( and / or how could I ) have a module call a
subprocedure before the main procedure, when a main procedure exists in that
module ?

The requirement is not very common.

It will only occur when two "programs" are bound together and exported
subprocedures in one are invoked from the other.  I guess if the second
"program" is sometimes run from the command line but more often acts as a
sort of service routine? .....

I suspect it is one of these things that IBM documents just in case you do
it.  More likely however is that it is documented because someone did it and
raised an APAR over the behavior.  A _lot_ of things get documented for that
reason.
