Hi Sharon,

Can I ask a silly question? Why does it matter whether LR is on in the called program? What will you do differently?

Perhaps you need to make it more abstract. Instead of relying on LR, you could pass a parameter that signals, err... whatever it is that you're trying to signal :)

In other words, you should try to focus on what your programs are trying to say to each other, instead of focusing on whether they ended with some arbitrary indicator turned on. Just my opinion.

I'm trying to convert a fixed-format RPG program to ILE free-format.
Unfortunately, it has a CALL with an indicator in positions 75 and 76 to
check if the program returned with the LR indicator on. I want to
convert that CALL to a free-format CALLP, but I'm not sure how to handle
that LR indicator situation.

Is there some way to use the program status data structure and check for
a status of 00001?

It just irks me no end to have to leave that one section of the program
in fixed format with a /end-free and a /free. Thanks in advance for any
help you can give.
