You don't always have to switch that indicator on. Sometimes you can just code RETURN to end the program.

*inlr is part of the "RPG Cycle" which is used by cycle modules. If you don't have the MAIN or NOMAIN keyword in your Control statements, it is a cycle module.

This page in the documentaiton explains about the three types of RPG modules, and it describes how *inlr affects a cycle module. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_74/rzasd/cycvslinear.htm
