Subject: I am short of Indicators


Hi All,

It happens everytime.
My application uses almost every indicator from 01 to 99. These
indiactors are
basically used to condition various display attributes of the display
files'
fields.
Now when I go to add a new field or add some more display attribute to
an
existing field, I find that I have already used up all the indicators,
nothing
is left.
Then I go and put lots of Or/And conditions for the indiactors.
But this is not a clean way.
Can anybody tell me if there is a better way to do this?

(Day dreaming : - AS/400 guys at IBM has increased Indiacator length
from 2 to 3
thus increasing the indicators from 001 to 999)

Thanks,
Rajeev.
