RE: Load all subfile - more indicator.

Rob,
If you use INDDS in your problem, all indicators in the display file are no
longer accessible in the RPG program except through the INDDS. By not coding
it in the INDDS you do not give a follow-up programmer the opportunity to
use Indy 67 and in turn "F up" your DSPF indicator usage.

I wouldn't trust that though with another programmer coming in behind you 
to do maintenance and end up using the indicator that's on the display 
file and not referenced in the program for something else.  I always try 
now to use the named indicators so that if one does a search on the 
indicator in the program without taking the time to search the display 
file, they see that's it's already used.  I've been bitten by that in the 
past.

Right, 
I always use NOT Indy (that is N67 in your example) rather than "67".
That way you just completely ignore the 67 and it works the way you want 
it
to. Don't even bother putting it in the INDDS.

As you said earlier.  It is that simple.  Another thing that makes 
load-all subfiles easy for small sets.  The problem was that I had
     A  67                                  SFLEND(*MORE)
on and not off in my
     D SecAutlInd      ds
     D  SflDsp                62     62n         Subfile Display
     D  SflDspCtl             63     63n         Subfile Display Ctrl
     D  SflClr                64     64n         Subfile clear
     D  SflEnd                67     67n         Subfile end
As soon as I changed
       SflEnd=*off;
to
       SflEnd=*on;
It handled it automatically.
