RE: INZSR weirdness

["Bob Cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use *INZSR frequently. I like it and do not associate it with RPG cycle
programming. I consider it a "Call me first and only once" routine.
How many times have we had questions posted asking if there were a way or
how to create a routine in *SRVPGM's that run the first time the service
program is loaded/started or are called when the service program is
unloaded/ended? A lot. 
*INZSR is that routine in *PGM objects. I only wish they would have ported
*TERMSR from VisualAgeRPG as well. Then we'd have both start and end
routines.
If I do pre-V5R1 coding, I use *INZSR to hide the overrides and file opens.
I'm not one to hide all PLISTs and KLISTs in *INZSR person, although I do
see a lot of people doing that as well. Good idea.

When the original poster of this thread suggested *INZSR wasn't working, I
new right away it was activation groups causing the variation in the
behavior, and not a problem with *INZSR.
