Re: New RFE submitted: Support data structures in CL

While it is true that the CL/LE DCL STG(*DEFINED ) parameter allows the
creation of data-structure-like definitions, I agree that having explicit
data structure support would be *much* easier to use. Implied positioning
of subfields within the data structure and dot-syntax for qualifying data
structure subfield references would go a *long* way towards simplifying
the whole idea of consuming data structures in CL/LE.

TBH, I'm mostly interested in external data structures in CL ... as I
have CL programs that send data queue entries to RPG programs. The
ability to share a structure definition between the two programs would
be a boon.

I have a technique that lets me share data structure layouts between
RPG and Java... adding CL support would make field size changes (where
the fields is in a DS) a lot easier.
