One thing *INZSR will do for you that an INIT() function won't is set base
values for a structure. Using the RESET opcode will respect values you set
in *INZSR. A good practice to avoid the "magic" black-box feeling is to
put a comment with the RESET function. e.g.,

// Reset values to defaults in *INZSR
reset Structure;


I agree with Peter and Jeff. Using features of a language increases my
productivity. I tend to let the computer do whatever work for me that it
will handle--within reason. I work on one system where I let a programmer
(who reported to me at the time) get really deep in SQL joins with
COALESCE and CASE structures. The code is too obscure for general use, but
it was an *interesting* learning experience.

The way you insure you (and others who follow you) know what it does is
judicious comments where needed.
