Way back in the day, at my very first programming job, I worked at a shop that had to do this in a small # of programs because they ran out of indicators. HUGE RPG-III program for order entry and a couple of other functions as I recall. Around 1985. Probably could have been modularized some, but we're talking S/38 Model 4 or 6 so there was a pretty big price to pay for called programs.

I vaguely recall it was also done by several subroutines that were routinely embedded via /copy for date/time manipulations or other common functions.

Why you would want/need to do so these days is, indeed, a stumper.

Subject: Re: Best way to save *In Array

Hi Giovanni,

Can you you explain what you're trying to accomplish?  Why would someone
want to save the *IN array?  What would you do with the saved copy?

I've worked in RPG since the late 1970s, and I have never heard of this.
