While we're on the subject of RPG Free, here's a situation I've not found
an
elegant equivalent (to RPG III) for, yet. We have plenty of old code
treating the program indicators as an array:
MOVEA '111' *IN,30
Which sets 'on' indicators 30-32.
The manual (or in my case the help text with iWDSC 7.0) says there's no
equivalent in Free, but instead use the %SUBARR or other substring
functions. I'd love to be able to do this:
*IN(30) = '111'
But the compiler doesn't like it.
I'd hate to leave Free for program indicator manipulation, but some of our
indicator-array processing strings can get lengthy, if you know what I
mean.
