Wow, I never saw that one coming!
It's already RPGLE, so I'm good there.

Well that's a different problem, and something I actually do a fair amount of. The indicators all work as expected. Put the external field name in positions 49-62 (Field Name) Then specify the indicators you need:
63-64 Control Level - L1, etc
65-66 Matching Fields - M1, etc
69-74 Field Indicators - ++, --, 00
ILOCXT 02
I MSOC M1
I MSTATCD MSTATC
I MBLDCDE MBLDCD
When I need to rename an external field, I put the external name in positions 21-30, and the internal / new name in positions 49-62.
I'm pretty sure that CVTRPGSRC will handle this but I don't have any RPGIII source code left to try it myself.
