Yeah, the docs must have been majorly wrong.  I can't seem to get any
sort of 'private' read on V5R2.  

* EXTNAME doesn't work, give RNF7701
* Internal DS, length 108 (same as WMERLGP) gives RNF7701
* LIKEREC compiles, but won't allow QUALIFIED or PREFIX, therefore it's
not a private read and won't suit the purpose.

Unless there's something I'm missing, it seems quite broken.


Thanks.
