I hate to mention this, but you can specify more than one indicator on a
line.  Use IN01 -> IN09 as major groups & IN10 - IN99 as minor groups.  That
would give you about 900 indicators.

I warn you though; it becomes a nightmare to maintain.  I had to once & I'm
glad that report was replaced.


     A  01 10     FLD1           1   A    15
     A  01 11     FLD2           1   A    20
     A  02 10     FLD3           1   A    25
     A  02 11 99  FLD4           1   A    30
