There's no reason you can't move *ON to any 1 character field... I
frequently do this my programs... I commonly use the following techniqnue
(columns will not even be close here... I'm not at the office :)

D rnfINP30      S                       LIKE(*IN90)
.
.
.
C                            CHAIN    INR30                     90
C                            EVAL       rnfINP30 = *IN90
.
.
.
C                           IF  rnfINP30 = *ON
.
.
.
C               ENDIF
.
.

Get my meaning?
