INDDS(data_structure_name)

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.
