Re: Need Some RPG Technical Questions

Depends on what you call 'the cycle'. Files are opened during program initialization, even if you specify NOMAIN. But, the manual says about NOMAIN: 'only the *INIT portion of the cycle is generated for the module'. So, is a NOMAIN module using the cycle or not? I would say not.

Lim et all -
For those who claim to either *never* use the cycle or rarely use it, I have the following question:
Do you *always* explicitly open and close all the files used in your programs/procedures?
If not, you *are* using the cycle.
The cycle implicitly opens all files except those coded as usropn, and closes all open files when *INLR is on and program ends.
