RE: Does anyone use indicators anymore?

Steve,

We (or rather I) use named indicators that make the program more readable.

For instance if the screen field is called "S1PARTNBR", and is conditioned 
to reverse-image & PC when indicator 40 is on (in case of an error), then 
position 40 of the INFDS is named something like "err_partnbr".

I find this makes reading the program much easier.

But talking about readibility then doesn't that get confusing if you want 
to do a PC and in the display file it is set using 40 and in the program 
its called something else?
