The INDDS keyword lets you associate a data structure name with
the INDARA indicators for a workstation or printer file. This data
structure contains the conditioning and response indicators passed
to and from data management for the file, and is called an indicator
data structure.
Rules:
- This keyword is allowed only for externally described PRINTER
files and externally and program-described WORKSTN files.
- For a program-described file, the PASS(*NOIND) keyword must not
be specified with the INDDS keyword.
- The same data structure name may be associated with more than
one file.
- The data structure name must be defined as a data structure on
the definition specifications and can be a multiple-occurrence data
structure.
- The length of the indicator data structure is
always 99.
- The indicator data structure is initialized by default to all
zeros ('0's).
- The SAVEIND keyword cannot be specified with this keyword.
If this keyword is not specified, the *IN array is used to communicate
indicator values for all files defined with the DDS keyword INDARA.
