>> I come back to indicators. What do you think about this? I think that there is no reason to use indicators at all any more except where dictated by the compiler (e.g. LOOKUP) and even then you don't have to _use_ the indicator afterwards, it is only needed to qualify the operation. I'm not sure why so many people seem to be confused over the use of %Found. The built-ins map on a one-to-one basis with the old indicators, so it is all very straightforward. %Found is only set by operations that can set the "No Record Found" (NRF) indicator (e.g. CHAIN). Since READC does not set the NRF indicator it does not set %Found either. The basic plan is this: %EOF - set whenever the EOF indicator would have been set. %Error - set when the (E) extender is used _and_ the error indicator would have been set %Found - the opposite of the NRF indicator - set when the indicator would have been off and vice-versa +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
