Isn't decc$feature_set_value(index++,0,anything); enough?

I'm sure it works for you. Outside init code is somewhere down from main 
(or whatever your main entry point was assigned to). That means, that 
the features set by any shareable image your image depends on are reset. 
That means, that the features set by logicals, very likely by 
define/user, and which were evaluated in the crtl's decc$main code, 
which runs before your main entry point is called, are reset. That also 
means, that anything which was initialized in decc$main depending on any 
of the then enabled features is not affected (an obvious but not really 
harmful example is argv).

Although I can't find anything documented I think to remember someone 
stating that setting DECC features should be done before decc$main runs. 
Again, this may not affect the feature you want to use or reset, but be 
aware that (re-)setting DECC features from main will not always work as 
expected.
