Doug,

David,

Many moons ago I worked on some RPG II code that used every numeric
> indicator, all the Ux indicators, and a few of the Hx indicators


Back in 1980, I had a programmer come to me with a similar program (also a
Workstn program using the RPG II cycle on a S34).  He had used all 99
indicators, U1-U8, L1-L9, and H1-H9 but couldn't figure out why he wasn't
allowed to use M1-M9 as indicators too since he still "needed" more of them.

Even worse, this guy had won some "structured programming technique" award
at his vo-tech school though I never understood why.  Maybe it was an
obfuscation award.  :)
