To be under Indicators or not to be

I agree with Mike Kohlndorfer . . . . .

I would prefer named indicators be listed as fields,
while system reserved indicators (*INxx, LR, etc) stay under
indicators.

A named indicator does not jump out as an indicator unless you spend
time analyzing how it is used; system indicators are more obvious.
If listed as a field, the data type is shown to the right, making it
easier to recognize


( And when maintaining a program, I may need to change the binary
indicator into a code that now could hold three values. )
