Hi all,

I just found an answer to why my program was blowing up thanks to this thread in the archives http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200407/msg00168.html (thanks Eric!)

I made the following modifications: I needed to condition the display of certain fields. The DSPF already had INDARA but the RPG only used a ton of *inxx.

So, I added an INDDS and used a named indicator and I got the same problem as the OP in the above thread.

I've temporarily replaced my named indicator with *in81 until I understand what's goin' on.

So, do I have to have all named indicators or all *inxx? Can someone explain how it all works?
Thanks.
