Re: LikeDS in Subprocedure

It doesn't like your PR is the problem.  In WDSC I get
     DSITEM_isItemFinishedGood... 
     D                 PR             1A    
     D                                3  0 Const 
     D                               12    Const 
     D                                     LikeDs(@DS_ErrMsg)
RNF3378E LIKEDS keyword is not allowed when a length has been specified 
for the item being defined. 

However, if I change it to:
     DSITEM_isItemFinishedGood... 
     D                 PR             1A    
     D a                              3  0 Const 
     D b                             12    Const 
     D c                                   LikeDs(@DS_ErrMsg)
I don't get the issue anymore.

And a personal pet peeve.  Why not put a letter next to the 3 and the 12 
instead of assuming default?  Why make the next guy who has to maintain 
your code slow down to think what the default is?
