Re: INTEGER & VARCHAR() on I-specs

Well that's a different problem, and something I actually do a fair
amount of. The indicators all work as expected. Put the external field
name in positions 49-62 (Field Name) Then specify the indicators you need:
63-64 Control Level - L1, etc
65-66 Matching Fields - M1, etc
69-74 Field Indicators - ++, --, 00

ILOCXT 02
I MSOC M1
I MSTATCD MSTATC
I MBLDCDE MBLDCD

When I need to rename an external field, I put the external name in
positions 21-30, and the internal / new name in positions 49-62.

I'm pretty sure that CVTRPGSRC will handle this but I don't have any
RPGIII source code left to try it myself.
