The worst is when you can tell they ran out of indicators and you see
something like:
savind21 = *in21;
*in21 = (this <> that);
if (*in21);
// do something;
endif;
*in21 = savind21;

And yes, I have seen this before. In this instance, stay on the soapbox ;-)

I would agree that printerInd.overflow is pretty self explanatory. Thus
eliminating the need to clutter up the code with comments letting future
developers know exactly what *in21 is. Or even worse, having no
explanation of *in21 at all.

The argument I normally here is, "it is self explanitory. It is specified
on the OflInd keyword." While this is true, I still have to look around
elsewhere in the code to figure it out. This wastes time. If I see
something like:

If printerInd.overflow ;

I know exactly what is happening without wasting my time.

I'm off my soapbox now.
