No, when you use the MAIN keyword, there's no cycle. The module does have the *INIT part of the cycle, the same as a NOMAIN module, but the main procedure just runs through its calculations once and then returns.

In the manuals, we call it a "linear-main" procedure, as opposed to a "cycle-main" procedure.
