Joe, I take it back a bit.  I'd forgotten about *INKO, which doesn't exist
(O as in MNOP).  It's possible that some RPG compiler might have an
internal
array of 25 indicators, so the index would match the letter.  (Currently,
we have *INKN at index 14 and *INKP at index 15, but it might be reasonable
to have *INKP at index 16.)

So, while I can't see the ILE RPG compiler ever changing this (brrrr),
_SOME_
RPG compiler might not work that way.

If I understand you correctly, you generate new RPG source.  If the RPG
compiler ever did change how it handles the indicators, you'd have to
regenerate the source to make the correction, right?  (That is, the
indicator
moving stuff is done in the RPG source, not in your routine.)
