Re: More than 99 indicators needed

I hate to mention this, but you can specify more than one indicator
on a line. Use IN01 -> IN09 as major groups & IN10 - IN99 as minor
groups. That would give you about 900 indicators.

I warn you though; it becomes a nightmare to maintain. I had to once
& I'm glad that report was replaced.

A 01 10 FLD1 1 A 15
A 01 11 FLD2 1 A 20
A 02 10 FLD3 1 A 25
A 02 11 99 FLD4 1 A 30


I also hate to mention this, but if you always used pairs of indicators in that file, you could mentally consider the indicator indexes to be 4 digit numbers, 0113, 0275. Then you could use a procedure to actually set the individual indicators.
setInd (0275 : *off)
would split the number into two 2-digit numbers and do
*in(02) = *off
*in(75) = *off
