I just started using data structures for file input, output and
update, for speed reasons (you know I am a speed-freak ;) ), so I am
curious.  Is there any advantage to using an external DS over one
created with LIKEREC?  Also, should we figure that someday, the
LIKEREC functionality in regards to using for input/output/update,
will be phased out?
