I first started using the code in 2012 and have not seen them move anywhere else since.

But like I said, you don't have to reference them if you don't want to.

Are you sure the "other" indicators are always mapped that way Chris? I was always lead to believe that only the *IN group were guaranteed to be contiguous as they were implicitly an array. Similarly 0A, OB, etc. are contiguous as a group but I've never heard that they follow the standard 99 set.

There's no guarantee that all the *IN indicators are contiguous, but it's unlikely that the additional indicators would move from where they are currently.

Even so, assuming I needed to save and restore the indicators, I would create a procedure to save the indicators in a data structure parameter and another procedure to restore the indicators from the data structure parameter, referencing the *IN indicators by their ordinary RPG names.
