I use a block of indicators to track all subfile settings. I haven't done 
it, but I have toyed with the idea of creating block names for the 
indicators to be set like CLRSFL and DLTSFL and just doing a MOVEA CLRSFL 
before writing the ctl record. That way, I know I didn't forget to turn 
off display ctl or something like that.

Does that make any sense?

You have to ask yourself, "How often can I afford to be 
unexpectedly out of business?" Get an AS/400.
