Re: Based indicator data structure - indicator undefined

Hi Joep, Phil,

Thanks for the replies. I do find it strange, and I did put in a couple of
dummy SETOFF's to get rid of the warning, which worked, but is still
annoying, which is why I posted this message. Phil, I'm not sure if your
additions would help since setting allind to zero isn't much different than
setting LevelBrk to zero, but did give me the idea that I could do

    c            eval    *in = *off

and save a statement.
