That is really sick. Named indicators here I come. Thanks for the tip. -Walden -----Original Message----- From: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com [mailto:owner-midrange-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Simon Coulter Sent: Thursday, May 07, 1998 6:07 AM To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: what is unclear about 01 02 03 -Reply At the risk of boring the enlightened and irritating the benighted ... Comments should illuminate not reiterate. Tell me WHY you did something not what you did. The what should be obvious from the code (although some of the examples posted here give the lie to that). The why is rarely obvious. Anyone still using the *INKx indicators needs their head read. Maybe the geezers instantly know which key *INKP is but there are more obvious ways; Assigning *IN01 to *IN24 to the function key is more obvious due the mnemonic relationship between the key and the indicator. Better yet is to use the AID byte from the feedback area and avoid the indicators entirely. Besides you simply don't need to use all those indicators. Named indicators are already available in RPGIV with pointer support. Simply code the following: D @Indicator S * INZ(%ADDR(*IN)) D Indicators DS BASED(@Indicator) D SflInz 51 51 D SflClr 52 52 D SflDsp 53 53 D SflDspCtl 54 54 D SflEnd 55 55 D SflNxtChg 56 56 Then you can do things like: C IF SflRRN > *ZERO C EVAL SflDsp = *ON C ENDIF C EVAL SflDspCtl = *ON Regards, Simon Coulter. //---------------------------------------------------------- // FlyByNight Software AS/400 Technical Specialists // Phone: +61 3 9419 0175 Mobile: +61 3 0411 091 400 // Fax: +61 3 9419 0175 E-mail: shc@flybynight.com.au // // Windoze should not be open at Warp speed. +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
