Not only that, but there are other factors to consider.  *INZSR is done 
after the files are opened, but before any record identifiers are turned 
on.  Fields initialized in *INZSR are subject to RESET to those values.  
And a few other points, which are usually moot, but worthy of 
consideration.  The RPG Cycle (pp 65-66 of the ILE RPG Reference manual) 
covers these differences.
