RE: Indicators -- not needed anymore???

The TESTN and the LOOKUP opcodes still require the user of Indicators.
LOOKUP only uses them for generating the correct look up routine (HI/LO/EQ)
that you want.
TESTN is the only opcode that still needs and reacts to the response
indicators. But it seems like TESTN is being phased out because you can do a
%CHECK('0123456789':MYVAR) instead.

Subject: Indicators -- not needed anymore???

All,

I realize that LR, U1-U8, M1-M8 are still used.

But assuming the use of INDDS for display and print files and the use of
bifs like %found and %eof; is there anything that still requires the use of
IN01-IN99???

I can't think of anything.  Even the overflow indicator on external printer
files can be named at v5r2.

Thanks,
