subject: Indicator 'overlay' array or data structure

Hi,

Since this indicators are only set to manage the display, why not set
them *off at the moment you do not need them anymore? 
Hence at the moment the user exits the screen and in the DDS involved,
using the DDS keyword SETOF(XX).

In this way in your RPG you only have to worry about the 'hopefully'
very few indicators necessary to check the results of opcodes and the
indicators that need to be set to manage the display.

Regards,
Eduard Sluis.
