Re: *IN41 = NOT %FOUND;

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

IN41 will be the opposite of found...

Basically, they had this fixed format (spacing off, 42 added for error
indicator to clarify)
c       chain   myklst    4142

and in multiple places they were checking *IN41...
Instead of modifying everything that made use of *IN41, they used
*IN41 = NOT %FOUND;

So *IN41 remains the "no record" indicator.

HTH,
Charles
