Re: Overlaying fields within a data structure with an array

Yes, that is what Jerry suggested to do. Just one problem with this
approach: you can no longer define the file ds on that program. So, if some
how some one needs to define the entire file structure as DS in that
program, then he is out of luck.

Actually, if you're doing traditional RPG scatter-gather I/O, then the
relationship between the fields in the file shouldn't make any difference
if you redefine the fields to make them contiguous in a DS.
