Re: screen to rpg indicator pointer

That the best approach when designing a new app. But if you are dealing with an existing app then, unless the display file was created with INDARA specified (and most were not), you've also go to consider changing the display file and checking the program to make sure there is no impact when switching to INDARA.

The other issue with using INDDS is that it does not map to the regular *IN indicators and therefor any O-spec output - of which sadly there is far too much - cannot share the display indictors thereby requiring additional logic to copy any common indicators.

I don't understand all this pointers to indicators stuff. I just do the
following.

dcl-f PLBG01_D01 WorkStn InfDs(gFileInfo)
InDDS(gIndicators)
Include(RD01_02: SFMSG_CTL)
UsrOpn;

dcl-ds gIndicators Len(99);
InvalidFrontierManaged Ind Pos(53);
InvalidErrorDescription Ind Pos(56);
ServiceOrderMode Ind Pos(81);
EditRecordMode Ind Pos(82);
DisplayRecordMode Ind Pos(83);
DisplaySubfileEndOnSubfileMessageQueue Ind Pos(95);
end-ds;

Easiest way is to use either group fields like this:

d IndicatorPtr2 s * Inz(%Addr(*In))
d ds_indics ds Based(IndicatorPtr2)
d s2_errors Overlay(ds_s2Errors:51);
d s2_descriptionError...
d 1n Overlay(s2Errors)
d s2_investorsError...
d 1n Overlay(s2Errors:*Next)
d s2_statesError...
d 1n Overlay(s2Errors:*Next)

Alternatively you can just use POS and forget the overlay stuff. This is
the way I would do it today e.g.

dcl-ds ds_indics Based(IndicatorPtr2);
d s2_errors char(3) Pos(51);
d s2_descriptionError ind Pos(51);
d s2_investorsError ind Pos(52);
d s2_statesErro ind P{os(53);

I am wanting to simply set off all error indicators by doing...

clear ds_s2Errors

this works but it clears ALL indicators in the %Addr(*In)) pointer...

How can I set a range of indicators off (or accomplish what I'm trying to
do)... in this scenario?
Hoping for a low impact change to %addr(*In) where I can specify an
indicator range.
