? named pointer

Did you mean Named indicator?  If so, you can always use a type N in the D
spec's.
A = alphanumeric
P = Packed
* = pointer
N = Indicator

Yes.

It's the only way I'm aware of to make a variable a named pointer, using
the *LIKE DEFN.

You can't use it, defined this way, as a result of an opcode that wants an
indicator, of course, and it isn't seen across programs (You can't set it
in your program and except your display file to see it) but it makes a
good Boolean operator.

 Are you saying that AFLD will become a named indicator? We can

   C   *LIKE DEFN *IN01 AFLD
   C             Eval AFld = *ON

 ?
