Is this documentation correct?

I am not getting expected results in the User field. It has a number instead
of my username.



For any data structure where the exact position is important, I would
never depend on getting the exact size of filler fields correct.  I
would use a length notation and OVERLAY(psds:pos) to define every
subfield explicitly with exactly the same information that is in the
documentation.

     Dpsds            sds                  
     D pgmname                       10a     overlay(psds:1)   
     D pgmsts                         5s 0   overlay(psds:11)
     D pgmprvsts                      5s 0   overlay(psds:16)
     D pgmsrcstmt                     8a     overlay(psds:21)
     etc
