Re: *INZSR

Basically there are three types of RPG modules:

1. Only a main procedure (the way we used to program before ILE)
2. Only subprocedures (keyword NOMAIN; often used for service programs)
3. Main and subprocedures.

*INZSR is always part of the main procedure. What the manual describes is
the (highly unlikely, I'd like to think) situation where you have a main
procedure and subprocedures and you manage to call a subprocedure before you
call the main procedure. You stated that you have code a *INZSR within a
subprocedure, which is not possible according to the manual (and the
experience of others on the list). So, if you want to know why your module
does compile, show us the code.
