No, programs start with each field initialized properly according to their value clauses.
However if you want to reset every item in a group in the middle of a running program, then you would. The INITIALIZE statement comes in use then.

If you code a VALUE on an 05 level, do you still have to INITIALIZE the group level? My cobol is very rusty.
