RE: Converting Sys/36 mode

We had converted S36E programs many years ago.

If you do a READ to the workstation file and put the same indicator in the LO and EQ columns.

FMT C .....CL0N01N02N03Factor1+++OpcdeFactor2+++ResultLenDHHiLoEqComments+++++++......
0684.00 C*
0685.00 C READ AC0120FM 3939

Since no prior screen was written to the display file before the READ, it fails and indicator 39 is turned on.
You can then use that indicator to condition a subroutine or procedure that does the required preparation needed before the initial screen is written using WRITE or EXFMT.
