Re: truncating a decimal value in /Free (Hijacked)

Would this be useful for you?

DINDICATORS ds
D exit 1n overlay(INDICATORS: 3)
D cancel 1n overlay(INDICATORS: 12)
DNamedInd ds 99
D Errors 3 overlay(NamedInd: 30)inz('111')
D IN30 1 overlay(NamedInd: 30)
D IN31 1 overlay(NamedInd: 31)
D IN32 1 overlay(NamedInd: 32)
...
INDICATORS = NamedInd;

I made a web page showing the whole code. The program works, but it may not be useful for you.

Luis, while syntactically valid, that code would not set on any
indicators. You'd need to base that IndArray on the actual indicator
array's address.

This alternative would work:

%subarr( *IN: 30: 3) = *on;

This is the sort of thing I was looking for. Just couldn't imagine how to
map the program indicators to the BIF. Appreciate the discussion from you,
Luis, et. al.

However, in the code I'm dealing with, it needs to be function in this
manner:

%subarr(*in:30:3) = '010';

Which the compiler -still- does not like (I apologize for the previous
overly-simplistic example). Unfortunately, when trying to navigate to Jon's
article, Chrome crashes with a Reader Subscription error!!!

BTW, let's say that such use of indicator(s) processing is mainly to - keep
the peace!
