Booth -- the = indicator (58-59) does what it always does on a READ --
turns on if an EOF condition (no more records) is detected.  So, my
guess would be that if the workstation is disconnected, 99 would turn
on.  Indicator 99 might stay on when power was restored, but that would
depend on the program logic.
