RE: Overlay an External DS - RESOLVED

In addition I found an external name example also:

D IPARTS        E DS                  EXTNAME(WSINTKPART) OCCURS(50)
D                                     PREFIX(PT)                    
D  PTMBR                         2                                  

Or 

 D ZLDA          EUDS                  EXTNAME(ZLDA)        
 D  BEGYMD               710    717  0                      
 D  ENDYMD               720    727  0                      
 D  BEGCHR               730    737                         
 D  ENDCHR               740    747                         
 D  BEGYMD6              750    755  0                      
 D  ENDYMD6              760    765  0

This was the solution I ended up using and it works great. I understand
that part of the problem was that this is an SQLRPGLE program and part
of the problem *could* be that you can't append an externally defined
DS.  Can anyone confirm the latter?

Thanks!
