Yep, that is particulary embarassing , given that such control is present in almost any non trivial code base.
At the current state in RPG , I personally those LLM in RPG are good as an aid for quick documentation delving and snippet generator to get the gist of the approach.And they are highly prompt sensitive.You reformulate and rephrase your prompt and you will get another code snippet.And it must included in a feedback loop (i.e. it must compile the module, see the error, try to feed the error in the context, rewrite , correct etc.).
I tried your query with a mainstream AI , it got crazy and starting including randomly CL in RPG directly like function calls, it was kind of surreal code to the point of being hilarious, but at the end hinted at the proper functions to pick.my 2c... ciao

I suspect nobody (except ChatGPT) uses *INRT.

I've been coding in RPG for over three decades, and riding The Cycle
whenever it was useful to do so (even without a primary file: it makes a
great event-loop for interactive programs; just slave LR to KC), and I'd
never noticed the existence of RT.
