I don't understand why you would say this. Which is easier to understand?

                 C                            If              *IN99 = *Off

- or -
                 C                            If              %Found(CustMast)

Chaos is created regularly by testing indicators. I can write code now that is
essentially self-documenting. I can't do that in RPG III (a.k.a. RPG/400).
