Maybe I'm just lazy (oh yeah, I am), but I don't type all of that. ...

Nope Jerry - you're doing it absolutely the right way.

To take it one step further, if you want other data from the file to precede
the array in the DS you can do it this way:

D SalesData DS
D CustNo
D Division
D QuarterData
D Q1 Overlay(QuarterData)
D Q2 Overlay(QuarterData: *Next)
D Q3 Overlay(QuarterData: *Next)
D Q4 Overlay(QuarterData: *Next)

D SalesForQtr Overlay(QuarterData)
D Like(Q1) Dim(4)

I wrote up this technique as well as the one you showed earlier back in Feb
of 2003 - the article was called "D-spec Discoveries" and you can find it
