Check page 3-5 in the Fastload 7.5.0 manual.

Anyway, the INDICATOR bytes are:

-- each bit represents a single field in the input record. So if you have 20 fields in the input record you'll need a total of 3 bytes of Indicators

-- the first bit (reading left to right) is the indicator for field#1, the seond bit is for field#2 etc etc

-- if the bit =0 then the corresponding field is NOT NULL

-- if the bit =1 then the corresponding field is NULL
