Re: RPG Free Syntax for Externally Described Data Structure

Nearly. Needs quotes around the EXTNAME item, i.e. ExtName('LMBJDS104W')

From the RPG IV Reference:

"• In a free-form definition, the file-name and format-name parameters must be character literals or named constants representing character literals. If a parameter is a named constant, the constant must be defined prior to the definition statement."

Something like

DCL-DS DS_WMS0104 EXTNAME(LMBJDS104W) PREFIX('W_') END-DS;

or

DCL-DS DS_WMS0104
     EXTNAME(LMBJDS104W)
     PREFIX('W_')
END-DS;
