Help me out here - I've always thought leaving *INLR *OFF means that on
another call to the program, variables will have the values they had
when the program ended before. Is this different with the MAIN keyword -
remember, we don't compile to 7.1 (blushing!).
Vern, you're right about how *INLR works for what's now called a
cycle-main module. (And was formerly just not called a NOMAIN module.)
With the MAIN keyword, you have something very similar to a NOMAIN
module, but the MAIN keyword indicates which of your subprocedures will
be the program-entry procedure. The main procedure is called a
linear-main procedure (running from beginning to end) rather than a
cycle-main procedure (running the RPG cycle).
Cycle-main:
/free
dsply 'hello';
return;
Linear-main:
H main(mypgm)
P mypgm b
/free
dsply 'hello';
// return opcode not needed
/end-free
P e
