Correct. But that would probably be a service or update program

Quite true. Which is the main purpose for which I write "conventional"
(i.e., controlled by a primary file) Cycle programs. Even the one or two
Cycle programs I've written that actually produced a report in a spool
file (as opposed to either running interactively or just quietly fixing
funky data) would fall into that category.
And of course, if you use The Cycle UNconventionally, then all the
implicit I/O, matching, control breaks, and so forth become irrelevant,
and you're left with the entire main enclosed in a big "do until told to
stop" loop.
