AW: Overlaying a DS Array In a LIKEREC DS

IMHO you need to overlay REC ( Overlay(REC.KPRO1V) ), because it's the
subfield in the qualified data structure c, you want to overlay.

I ended up using the based reference and that works fine. I've used that
solution in the past, but my colleagues aren't comfortable with pointers and
I was sure there was a solution that used the OVERLAY keyword. Thanks for
your help.

The second solution doesn't scan Simon. The editor highlights line1.18 &
complains:

0001.14 d c ds qualified
0001.15 d rec likerec(rctldef)
0001.17 d array likeds(ctlds) dim(20)
0001.18 d overlay(c.rec.kpro1v)

The simple qualified name is not specified correctly.

It doesn't like the two qualifiers:

Message ID . . . . . . : RNF0623


Message . . . . : The simple qualified name is not specified correctly.

Cause . . . . . : A simple qualified name is formed by specifying the
owning
data structure name followed by a period (.) followed by the subfield
name.
It cannot contain more than one period, and it cannot start or end with a
period. The subfield-name part must be one of the subfields in the data
structure.
Recovery . . . : Correct the simple qualified name. Compile again.

I tried removing the rec. out of desperation and it cleared the editor
syntax error, but failed on the compilation. I haven't posted the
compilation errors. I'm happy with the based solution.
