An indicator area is a 99-element character array with indices from 0-98.
If you specify the INDARA keyword (indicators=y) in the DDS, the indicators for the display, ICF, and printer files are returned in a separate indicator area. Use the _Rindara() function to identify the separate indicator buffer associated with the file.
If you do not specify the INDARA keyword in the DDS, the indicators for the display, ICF, or printer file will be specified in the record buffer. The number and order of the indicators that are defined in the DDS determine the number and order of the indicators in the record buffer. Indicators are always positioned first in the record buffer. The in_buf and out_buf pointers in the _RFILE structure point to the input and output record buffers for a file.
