IF you add BASED to the original field, no storage is allocated for it.
For example:

D MyDate_T    DS               BASED(ptr_Nowhere)
D  Year                   2S0
D  Month                  2S0
D  Day                    2S0

D Mydates DS LikeDS(MyDate_T)

Huh. I wouldn't have thought of this in a million years. I assume ptr_Nowhere is defined somewhere? Not necessarily assigned a value, but defined? Cool technique, though. Even if it does feel a little gimicky. I notice Scott is using the same idea.
