RE: Does anyone use indicators anymore?

                (From Michael:) ...while I use booleans (as I would in any 
language), the only indicators I use are for working with display and printer 
files, and *INLR. I can't imagine using the cycle....

==> I don't use the "numbered" indicators anymore except for the INDDS. Overlay 
it with meaningful names, and overlay *IN into a data structure and/or use 
named constants. For ER or NF conditions, couldn't we get file status from an 
INFDS data structure for that file, and even "name those status codes"? 

Level check indicators are better for performance where appropriate, but 
changes to the sort order, or "exotic" break conditions (for example, ranges of 
accounting codes grouped for totals) or some other things can get real 
complicated real fast. Maintenance is much easier with greater flexibility. 

I did get an appreciation for the built-in "grouping" and "totalling" cycle 
logic though when I had to "simulate" them when using SQL for input... :0)
