I have come across something that puzzles me about the new program model in
V6R1.
I created a test program using the new H spec keyword MAIN.
In this version I included a global variable and code in the MAIN procedure
that first display the value and then initialized it to 1.
When I called the first time is displayed 0 which is what I would expect but
I when I called it a second time is showed a value of 1 again.
In other words the value of the static variable was kept between calls.
I took another version with no MAIN and LR = *On and value was always 0.
Since you now longer have an *INLR in the new program model how does the
storage ever get released? Only the ending of the job?
Seems kind of strange. Shouldn't it always be 0 with the new program model
because the storage is released on each call?
Thanks.
