Re: Compile failed when try to do return ...

Hi Jon -


Some of the ways in which indicators behave is historical.  Prior to RPG IV,
indicators were simply treated as character fields, there was no real notion
of a boolean.  This changed a bit with RPG IV and the notion of a boolean
(i.e. If Not *IN01) was introduced.  Once named indicators (type N) were
added, they had to basically equate to the same thing.
Back on the S/32, S/34, and S/36 (and maybe other systems), the indicators were actually bits. If you wanted to do indicator operations in an assembler subroutine, you had to use bit machine codes to test and set the indicators.
