RE: Read Into

Can I qualify these? I add the key word by it gives an error.

It works for me.  Two key things:

a) You MUST use LIKEREC(shprec1:*INPUT).  You can't use ExtName for this
    on V5R2.  shprec1 must be the record format name, not the filename.

b) You MUST use the record format name on the READ statement as well,
    in other words, shprec1.

c) This support requires V5R2, so make sure you're using the V5R2
    compiler and not specifying TGTRLS(*PRV) or TGTRLS(V5R1M0) on the
    compile command (sometimes people change the defaults)

I changed your code to use LIKEREC, and it compiled and ran for me. Here's 
the code I tested:

      FCURPRVSHP IF   E           K DISK
      d
      d aaa             ds                  likerec(shprec1: *input)
      d bbb             ds                  likerec(shprec1: *input)
       /free
          setll *loval curprvshp;
          dow not %eof;
             read shprec1 aaa;
             read shprec1 bbb;
          enddo;
          //
          *inlr = *on;
          //
       /end-free
