Some 20 years ago (st. Peppers) I had the notion to ask IBM to let us use
Field attributes indicators in DSPFs in a more straight forward (and self
explanatory) way.
This by adding all 7 attributes of each field ( HI RI CS BL ND UL PC) to
the INDRADA area
Then we could write in the RPG program like this:
FIELD1.PC = *ON (Set on Position cursor for FIELD1)
FIELD2.RI = *ON (light up Reverse Image for FIELD2)
you get the point...
This method will also help with the limited number of indicators.
But, as I have been coding less and less during that time I kind of
dropped it.
BTH, I know that one can map names to each indicators and use named
indicators
But if IBM were to add a built-in support for this feature it would have
standardize all
reference to these field attribute and not leave it to the (lazy , like me)
programmer.
Just a flash-back
