RE: Checking indicators

Sure i can - that is a reserved special value that takes on the data type you 
need - i just did it. So for a character field (or indicator) it is a character 
value as long as you need. I am not testing the individual indicators here, I 
am testing the contents of a character field that has what is in the indicator 
array.

Cool, huh?

Vern; 

You can't use *ZEROS this is a numeric value, indicators are character 
values of '0' or '1'.

The indicators can be treated as an array. The name of it is *IN with 
elements from 1 to 99. 
1. Declare a 20-character variable CHAR20 
2. MOVEA *IN(n) CHAR20 
3. Compare CHAR20 to *zeros 

I was hoping you could in free form try %subarr(*IN : n : 20) = *zeros 
because *IN can be used as in the above example as an array - no such luck 
in a quick test. It also did not work when assignting the result of %subarr 
to a variable. I kinda think this could be a bug but will not pursue it.

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?
