Re: *INZSR - I still love you!!!

Tony,

There are times, (when using the cycle), that *INZSR is extremely 
beneficial versus an EXSR.  Given that I suppose a person could have put a 
comment like (forgive spacing):
C*                        EXSR  *INZSR
Much as I don't use *ENTRY PLIST anymore but instead use a Procedure 
Interface and do the following
     D SKELETON        PI      *ENTRY PLIST
     D  Parm1                              like(something)
to facilitate searching for it.

Re:  *INZSR - I still love you!!!






IMHO, if there are tasks that need to be done at the beginning of the task
at hand, I simply code them at the beginning of the C-specs.  Perhaps this
is because I don't rely on the eternal repeating of the entirety of the
C-specs. 

I could see the enhanced 'neatness' of moving these 'initialization' items
to a subroutine, but beyond that, *INZSR simply adds to the 'mystique' of
the program, by not having to EXSR that initialization subroutine.  At a
glance, it forces you to first look towards the bottom of the code, or
search for the *INZSR text to see the program flow. 

Just my opinion.  Take it or leave it.
