<h1 class="topictitle1">INDARA (Indicator Area) keyword for ICF files</h1>
<div><p><span>Use this file-level keyword to remove
option and response indicators from the buffer or record area, and to place
them in a 99-byte separate indicator area.</span></p>
<div class="section"><div class="p">Specifying the INDARA keyword provides the following advantages:
<ul><li>Simplifies COBOL/400<sup>®</sup> programming when both option
and response indicators are used. If the same indicator is used as a response
indicator and as an option indicator, both indicators always have the same
value, regardless of the order in which they are specified in the DDS.</li>
<li>Assists the RPG/400<sup>®</sup> programmer using program-described
workstation (WORKSTN) files.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>This keyword has no parameters.</p>
<p>If you specify the INDARA
keyword, some high-level languages require that you specify in your program
that a separate indicator area is to be used. See the appropriate high-level
language manual.</p>
<p>If you specify the INDARA keyword, you can add, change,
or delete option and response indicators in the DDS and recompile the file
without recompiling the high-level language program. This is allowed because
the field locations in the buffer have not changed and, therefore, the level
check data has not changed. <span>However, if the program
is to take advantage of the new indicators, the program still needs to be
changed and recompiled.</span></p>
<p>Option indicators are not valid for this
keyword.</p>
</div>
<div class="example"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example</h4> <p>The following example shows how to specify
the INDARA keyword.</p>
<pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
00010A INDARA
00020A 41 FAIL
00030A RCVTRNRND(14 'Turn around')
00040A R RCD
00050A ACTNBR 10
A</pre>
<p>With the INDARA keyword specified, option indicator 41
and response indicator 14 are removed from the buffer for RCD and placed in
the separate indicator area. Only ACTNBR, a named field, remains in the buffer
for record format RCD.</p>
