Have you tried the POS keyword? That has a single parameter, the starting position within the DS.

The documentation that came out suggests that OVERLAY can be used as you have it here - but the list of keywords for free-form definitions doesn't include OVERLAY. I seem to recall Barbara saying something about this at a conference - but I could be remembering falsely.

At any rate, your first overlaid field is at position 2, so try POS(2), the second one, POS(3).

I would agree if you say that the documentation is confusing.

Hi group,

I've been busy converting a program with D-specs to full free-format, but I've encountered an issue which I cannot seem to solve.

Does anybody know how to convert this DS into a Decl-ds structure?

D DPA_Template_T Ds
D SclTyp 1a
D SclLen 5i 0
D DecPos 3i 0 Overlay( SclLen: 1 )
D DecLen 3i 0 Overlay( SclLen: 2 )
D Rsv 10i 0 Inz

The overlay of the subfield is giving me headaches.

Thanks in advance.
