NOMAIN specifically means that there is no main procedure.  That's why
it's called "no main."  :)

Did I phrase it incorrectly the first time?

Perhaps 90% of the subprocedures that I write go into the same source
member as my main procedure.  I use them in a similar fashion to the way
you'd use a subroutine.

The other 10% of the time, I'm writing something that can be used from
many different places -- those routines get put into a "H NOMAIN" source
member, which gets compiled/bound into a service program with other
similar procedures.
