Hey, Hey, HEY!  Left-hand indicators are not all -that- complicated...
they're just like saying
                        *IN01  IFEQ   '0'
                        *IN02  IFEQ   '1'
                        *IN03  IFEQ   '0'
                                ....
                                code
                                ....
                               ENDIF
                               ENDIF
                               ENDIF

Granted, you can add more challenge with a few ORs stuffed in here and
there, but...
