Been around longer than that. I retain actual code, functional on v5r3, that uses the figurative constants on SETLL for Arrival sequence.

Perhaps telling however, is that the indicators other than the /error/ indicator are not allowed when using a figurative constant on SETLL using fixed-format.? That would seem to suggest that, in the past anyhow, that SETLL had no intention of ever setting the %found() [or of course the %eof()] indicator.?
