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

Hans, its not about saving an EXSR line.  *INZSR runs before one can EXSR. 

So far as putting the initialization lines up front...  I find nothing
useful about that concept.  I do not miss the old days when we had to wade
through dozens of lines of initialization code before we could see the real
program.  I want to see the mainline as soon as possible. Additionally I'd
really  prefer to have the initialization code off to one side where I can
review it separately..

Maybe I'm just in a cranky mood today, but I'm not sure if saving one
(1) EXSR statement in the typical RPG program is enough of a reason to
justify having a special *INZSR name in the language. (Sure, there's
always RESET. But as I suggested earlier, I don't think much of RESET
either!)
 
As someone else mentioned, putting the initialization up front is
clearer than putting it lower down amongst the subroutines.
 
Cheers! Hans
