Compile-Time and Prerun-Time Arrays

The INZ keyword cannot be specified for a compile-time or prerun-time array, because their initial values are assigned to them through other means (compile-time data or data from an input file). If a compile-time or prerun-time array appears in a globally initialized data structure, it is not included in the global initialization.

Note:

Compile-time arrays are initialized in the order in which the data is declared after the program, and prerun-time arrays are initialized in the order of declaration of their initialization files, regardless of the order in which these arrays are declared in the data structure. Pre-run time arrays are initialized after compile-time arrays.

If a subfield initialization overlaps a compile-time or prerun-time array, the initialization of the array takes precedence; that is, the array is initialized after the subfield, regardless of the order in which fields are declared within the data structure.
