Re: Named Indicators...

[zylka.marc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This is the way we setup our programs, not to use *ink*.  But, the copy source
member with keys already
defined is a good idea.  I'd rather see a check for F3 than *in03 or *inkc.  It
all depends on what we grew up on.  Some of us even continue to use all caps in
RPG/IV.  Personally, I think that using mixed case helps to describe what a
field is, such as DeptStore, and looks better.
