RPG Program, Static Storage and V6.1

In V6.1 we are going to get a new program model that will allow us to
use the keyword MAIN in the H spec to specify a sub-procedure that
will be the main procedure.

This eliminates the cycle code but one of the things I have read about
with this is that it eliminates the LR as it no longer has any
meaning.

How does this effect static storage? If I initialize a global variable
and return from the program is the value still there the next time I
call the program or is it gone?

In a service program, the static storage stays around until you close
the activation group. A similar thing here?

We don't have V6.1 yet so I can't test but have been curious about how
this is going to work. .

Thanks.
