Narrative
WE WERE IN OUR CLB FROM CMH TO DFW, WITH A CLRNC TO FL310. PASSING FL280, IND CENTER ASKED FOR A WIND RPT, WHICH WE GAVE. IND CENTER THEN ISSUED CLB CLRNC TO FL350. PASSING FL320, IND CENTER ASKED OUR ALT, THEN GAVE THE CLRNC, "DES TO FL310." WE ACKNOWLEDGED AND I ASKED IF THERE WAS A TFC PROB. THE REPLY WAS, "NOT YET, BUT I NEED YOU LEVEL IN 1 MIN." TFC PASSED ABOUT 1 MIN LATER OPP DIR AT FL330. IND CENTER THEN ASKED WHAT ALT WE HAD BEEN CLRD TO, TO WHICH WE RESPONDED FL350. I HAD READ BACK THE CLRNC AND THE F/O SET THE ALT ALERT. WE ARE SURE THE CLRNC WAS GIVEN IN ERROR TO FL350. ALSO, THE OTHER ACFT WAS COMING FROM ANOTHER CTLRS AIRSPACE. NO TFC CONFLICT OCCURRED.
