Re: How to give a meaningful name to an indicator within in RPG

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Use an Indication Data Structure (INDDS)

FWCS110D   CF   E             WorkStn IndDS(WCS110DS)
F                                     SFile(WCS110D1:D1RRN)

 * Workstation indicator data structure.
D WCS110DS        DS
D  Exit                   3      3N
D  SortByName             5      5N
D  SortByAcct             6      6N
D  SortByDate             7      7N
D  NameSearch            17     17N
D  AcctSearch            18     18N
D  DateSearch            19     19N
D  Previous              12     12N
D  SflDsp                30     30N
D  SflDspCtl             31     31N
D  SflClr                32     32N
D  RollUp                40     40N
D  RollDown              41     41N

And in the DDS:

A                                      INDARA
