No, you don't need to set on *INLR. Setting on *INLR controls the RPG
cycle, but a linear-main module doesn't use the RPG cycle.
The linear-main procedure will just end when it gets to the end of the
calculations. You _can_ set on *INLR if you want, but it won't do any of
the cycle-related things like closing files.
Here is a comparison of a cycle-main module and a linear-main
module.

Conceptually, a linear-main module is much more like a NOMAIN module
than it is like a cycle-main module. The only way it is similar to a
cycle-main module is that it can be used as the program-entry module for
a program.
