Ahhhh.  Did you read up on the POST operation code?  Result field is an
optional data structure.  In your case, I'd leave the standard INFDS alone
and create a new external file for the POST layout and specify that DS as
the result field.  You'll want to carefully read this section, because the
mere presence of POST _even if it never executes_ can change the way the
standard INFDS operates.
