Aha! Look! No pointer required... OK. Why not? What does the pointer
method give you that this does not?

Subject: RE: Does anyone use indicators anymore?

-----Original Message----- From: James H H Lampert   ....That same basic
idea could also be used for an indicator used to condition statements or
store flags raised by calculations....

==>Yep...

....I'm not directly familiar with overlaying names on the general
indicators. What release did it come in at, and can more than one name
be overlaid on an indicator that's used for more than one purpose?

==> Adding to Kurt's example:

     FDspF      CF   E             WorkStn IndDS( DspfInd ) 
      //  Display File Indicator Data Structure.
     D DspFInd         DS
     D  PCFld1                40     40n   Inz( *Off ) 

     D IndicatorsDS    DS                  Inz
     D  *IN                    1     99n   
     D  CompanyNotFound       13     13n
     D  CustNotFound          13     13n
     D  InvoiceNotFound       13     13n
     D  CustReadError         26     26n
     D  Co#ReadError          26     26n

or...
     D Indicators      DS                  Inz
     D  *IN                    1     99n   
     D  CompanyNotFound                n   Overlay(Indicators:13)
     D  CustNotFound                   n   Overlay(Indicators:13)
     D  InvoiceNotFound                n   Overlay(Indicators:13)
     D  CustReadError                  n   Overlay(Indicators:26)
     D  Co#ReadError                   n   Overlay(Indicators:26)
