Re: RPG Indicators

If things are urgent, you can get a much faster answer by playing "Ask the
Computer!"  In other words, try it. You'll find that you cannot use KA to
condition fields in a DSPF, in fact you get a message telling you that it
must be an indicator 01-99. Now in your RPG, try to seton KB. You get a
message that "Resulting-Indicators KA-KN, KP-KY are valid for the SETOF
only". It's a lot faster than posting to this list and waiting for someone
to reply.
