Re: Indicator name

I'm writing a program (green screen) that uses a write and read with a

Actually I'm trying to write this program as a skeleton program for the rest
of the programmers on staff.
I am using Eval-Corr to move data back and forth from input, output, and
disk (using likerec).
Is there a way to rename an indicator in the output buffer?
Right now, I have to Out02.in33 = *On; to protect a screen field on add (33
protect n33 underline in dds).
I would like to use a named indicator like ProtectStatus.

Craig, if you change to use an externally-described DS instead of using LIKEREC, you can rename the indicator subfields.

D outDs E ds extname(myfile:myrec:*output)
D qualified
D ProtectStatus...
D E extfld(*in33)
