RE: likerec by extname from copybook

Tim and Jon,

Thanks for your answers. I know that the manual for V5R2 isn't correct.
Have readed this on previous postings.

What I hoped to do is to define a template datastructure in my D-specs
copybook what calling programs should use when calling the I/O routine.
The only place where I want to have F-specs is in my serviceroutines.
That's why I tried to use the copybook DS on my LIKEREC definition.

When I replace my LIKERECs with LIKEDS keywords, just like you Tim, then
I cannot chain directly into the datastructure because that requires the
use of LIKEREC. I'm curious how you solved this Tim.

Thanks, Arco.
