Indicator Redux

["Turnidge, Dave" <DTurnidge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have looked through the archives having to do with Indicator Arrays,
and am confused. It appears that there are two arrays(?): one for
display file indicators, and one for RPG indicators.

When I started on my current project I was told that I didn't need to
use the "pointer method" to define my indicators, but now I am running
into a problem. I have set up variable "ExcludeSys" for position 27 in
my indicator data structure. However, when I turn ExcludeSys *ON, *IN27
is not *ON, and, I WANT it to be on. 

Please help me understand the difference (if there is one) and/or how to
be able to use a variable name and have the action continue on to the
indicator. Also, if there is a page in a Redbook (or equivalent) that
explains this from IBM's "easy to understand" viewpoint <G> a link would
be nice...

Thank you,

Dave
