RE: Pointer / Based issue

Since the data structure is qualified, they actually have different names. 
 You cannot refer to that data structure field as simply dsFeat.  You HAVE 
to refer to it as FeatTypeDS.dsFeat.  Therefore, no potential to overwrite 
a file name.  What you LOSE by doing it this way is that you cannot use 
the new V5R4 operation of evaluate cooresponding to copy all of the 
matching field names in the file to the data structure.  Something COBOL 
programmers have had since the dawn of time.
