Why exactly we should use *INZSR

[kishor]

Hi,

m using *InzSr for initializing my klists/data areas. but m not sure what difference it makes to code things in InzSr.
this is what I got about InzSr
"The initialization subroutine allows you to process calculation specifications before 1P output."

Could someone please explain.

Thanks

Re: Why exactly we should use *INZSR

An *INZSR ist executed only the at the first call at your program.
If your program ends with *LR = *ON, *INZSR is called each time you call your program.
In this way you may use the *INZSR subroutine to initialize some variables for example by calling other programs that will return the appropriate information.
If your program ends with Return (instead of *LR = *ON), *INZSR is executed only at the first call, for all sub-subsequent calls (within the same job and activation group) *INZSR is NOT executed.
When initializing variables in the *INZSR, it is only excuted the first time, for all subsequent calls, the loaded value will not be overridden. In this way initializing variables within the *INZSR makes only sense for "constant" variables, i.e. values that are not changed as long as the activation group/job (where the program is running) is active.
