RE: Free Form question?

You can do it by associating the *IN array with a pointer, and then
moving '0' to the appropriate place using pointer math, but I don't
think that's a good idea.

First, I think it's better to have named indicators. CustNotFound is
more meaningful that *IN26 being *OFF.

Second, regardless of how you name your indicators, if you have seperate
lines to turn them off, the next programmer won't have to count '0's to
see what indicators are being turned off.
