Re: Switches

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Troy,

The job switches correspond to indicators U1 - U8 in RPG.  The old fashioned
way of having user-controlled open's for files in RPG was to specify one of
these indicators on the F-spec.

Also, the program can use these indicators to determine various actions just
like any other indicator, e.g. IF *INU1 = *OFF...

What kind of error are you getting?
