ILE RPG Language Reference


NOMAIN

The NOMAIN keyword indicates that there is no main procedure in this module. It also means that the module in which it is coded cannot be a program-entry module. Consequently, if NOMAIN is specified, then you cannot use the CRTBNDRPG command to create a program. Instead you must either use the CRTPGM command to bind the module with NOMAIN specified to another module that has a program entry procedure or you must use the CRTSRVPGM command.

A no-main module will not include logic for the RPG program cycle; thus language features dependent on the cycle must not be specified.

Note:
In addition to the NOMAIN keyword, the MAIN keyword also allows you to create a module that does not contain the RPG program cycle.

See Linear Module for more information.
