If I understand what your are asking the ability has been around for years.

 /copy *libl/gpssrc,CB_MAP_IND
d DisplaySubfileControl...
d                                     Like(StdLgl)
d                                     Overlay(dsIndicators:26)
d DisplaySubfile...
d                                     Like(StdLgl)
d                                     Overlay(dsIndicators:27)
d ClearSubfile...
d                                     Like(StdLgl)
d                                     Overlay(dsIndicators:28)
d DisplaySubfileEnd...
d                                     Like(StdLgl)
d                                     Overlay(dsIndicators:29)
d DisplaySubfileEndOnSubfileMessageQueue...
d                                     Like(StdLgl)
d                                     Overlay(dsIndicators:95)

Copy block just has.


 d dsIndicators    ds
 d  IndicatorArray...
 d                                     Like(StdLgl)
 d                                     Dim(99)

In code, then you just have

DisplaySubfile = cTrue;
