RE: More than 99 indicators needed

I know, but it is MY JOB to state the obvious sometimes (as I have been
told by my CEO......) Sometimes that is good, sometimes that is bad. Ut
oh, there goes that white elephant again.......

100 indicators is insane. Just my opinion.

The OP indicates that a single line of the report could have more

100 fields, exceeding his ability to control output individually...

It seems to me that perhaps a better (or at least different) way of
building the line might be preferable. Why not build it in (say) a DS

with overlapping fields where needed. Couldn't be any more confusing

than any print line that needs more than 100 indicators!
