AS/400 manuals come on a CD-ROM with every system and are also located on
the Internet.  At some point in the past, there was a criticism that RTFM
answers should include a reference to The Fine Manual in question.  This
strikes me as doing someone else's homework, but beginners often report an
unpleasant experience trying to track things down.  In that spirit, here's
how I found the answer to the above question in the IBM manuals on the
Internet.

Take the Library link.  
Take the Online Library/Books and Manuals in Online Format link.  
Choose your language and click GO!   
Choose your OS version - I picked V4R4.  
Search or view all books.
Search Books (below the text box)
for my search, I typed in "rt indicator" without the quotes
click RPG/400 Reference because we're looking at an old program...
click the first hit - Return Indicator
  Note the reference to "Communicating with Other Objects" in the RPG/400
User's Guide. 
Back up to the list of books and click on RPG/400 User's Guide.  
click on the first hit - A Normal End
click on the second hit - Return without an End
