RE: Indicator Arrays in /FREE

["Smith, Nelson" <NSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

AFAIK, everything works on DSPATR except the PC attribute.  For that, you
need to work with CSRLOC & RTNCSRLOC keywords, which work with hidden
fields. EDTWRD & EDTCDE don't accept fields, but they do still work in
conjunction with DSPATR using a P field. i.e. the P-field can set a display
field to Red at the same time an EDTWRD is formatting it.   

With these tools you are able to eliminate all indicators except for the
subfile controls.  For those, as others have pointed out, use the INDARA
keyword at the display file level, which allows you to name those few
remaining indicators to something meaningful in your program, such as
Subfile_Clear, Subfile_Display, etc. Too bad there doesn't seem to be any
further enhancements being made to DDS.
