By kimot, 24 December, 2022

Using keyword INDARA in display file allow us to use more readable syntax in HLL programs

Snippet of DDS source (display file)

A        DSPSIZ(24 80 *DS3)                   
A        REF(*LIBL/WTCHTGLOG)                
A        INDARA                               
A        CF12(12 'End of job indication for all displays in file') 
...

with INDARA you can use for example Dsp.Wtchtgsts in this RPG code 

dcl-f wtchtg_scr workstn indds(Dspf) sfile(SUBFILE:Z1RRN) ; 
                                                             
dcl-ds Dspf qualified ;    
  Exit ind pos(3) ;        
  Refresh ind pos(5) ;     
  Wtchtgsts ind pos(40) ;  
end-ds;
...

if result = 'OK' ;        
   Dspf.Wtchtgsts = *on;   
else ;                    
    Dspf.Wtchtgsts = *off;  
endif;
