I prefer *INKx to a numbered indicator. e.g. I prefer *INKC to *IN03.
I just think it's more obviously that KC means F3, whereas *IN03 could
mean anything. If these were the only choices, I'd use *INKx.
However, I think INDDS() is even better.
But, honestly, I don't write new 5250 green screen programs anymore. I
write web applications! So if I'm working with a 5250 app, I'm changing
an existing program. In that case, I tend to stick with the same style
that the program was already written in.

Is anyone still using the old indicator style of INKC, INKA, etc.?
Is there any reason why this should even be used today?
I know some are advocating using no indicators at all in a program....but
is that not one of the strengths of RPG?
