Re: Indicating Total Time in Free Form when using RPG Cycle - Solved

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FREE still uses the cycle, so far as I know.  It is us programmers who 
have added in the redundant code of the DOW not %EOF loop.  Take out 
that loop, and so far as I know, you are back to the original RPG cycle.

Setting on the L1-L9 indicators is usually done in the I specs, I 
believe?  In which case it is probably easier to finish converting the 
old code and do your L1 calculations within the Calc specs and use named 
indicators and/or conditioned sub routines in place of L1-L9.

If the issue is L0 then my understanding is that L0 is always on and 
therefore not relevant to solving any practical programing problems.
