You've heard a lot about coding without indicators and perhaps even seen some code, but this article will show how the techniques can make you a better developer.

RPG programmers have a long and storied relationship with indicators. Certainly, it can be argued that without indicators there would be no RPG. However, it's been argued for some time now that we should write RPG with no indicators. In fact, some would argue that the only indicator you should ever see in an RPG program is *INLR: the last record indicator, which we still use to signal the end of a program. But does removing indicators have a real, practical benefit, or is it more of a theoretical exercise in "better programming"? This article provides a real example that proves the usefulness of the indicator-free programming style.

Today, you'll learn about the QBNLPGMI API.

This article is the fifth in a series that discusses how to find all *PGMs and *SRVPGMs that have a specific *MODULE bound into them. Today, we're adding support to the MODUSAGE program for *MODULEs that are bound into *PGMs.
