RE: Checking indicators

You can use *ON and *OFF instead of *ALL'0' and *ALL'1' respectivly. The
compiler expands those constants to the full length of the field. I use it
like this;
D displayInd      DS                                         
D  fKeys                        26A                          
D    exit                         N   OverLay(fkeys : 3)     
D    refresh                      N   OverLay(fkeys : 5)     
D    cancel                       N   OverLay(fkeys : 12)    
D  recordAtr                    13A                          
D   screenChanged...                                         
D                                 N   Overlay(recordAtr : 1) 
D   sflDsp                        N   OverLay(recordAtr : 4) 
D   sflDspCtl                     N   OverLay(recordAtr : 5) 
D   sflEnd                        N   OverLay(recordAtr : 6) 
D   msgSflEnd                     N   OverLay(recordAtr : 7) 
D   sflNxtChg                     N   OverLay(recordAtr : 12)
D  editError                    40A                          
D   fieldError                    N   Overlay(editError : 1) 
D                                     Dim(40)                
D  fieldAtr                     10A                          
D   protectFields...                                         
D                                 N   OverLay(fieldAtr : 1)  
D   historyColor                  N   Overlay(fieldAtr : 2)  
D  fileAtr                      10A                          

...
editError = *OFF; 

...
If Not screenChanged and   
  editError = *OFF and     
  fKeys = *OFF;            
...

Hi Douglas,

As long as the indicators are consecutive you can use the following method:

d ptrInd          s               *   inz(%addr(*in20))
d Ind21_40        s             20a   based(ptrInd)    
 /free                                                 
      if Ind21_40 = *all'0';                           
           dsply 'All OFF';                            
      elseif Ind21_40 = *all'1';                       
           dsply 'All ON';                             
      else;                                            
           dsply 'Mixed values';                       
      endif;                                           
      *inlr = *on;                                     
 /end-free

I have a need to check whether 20 indicators are on or off and I'd like to
find a way if possible to check them all without having to use multiple if
statements.

 

Is this possible?
