Mark and Hans,

You know what I would like, is to use array syntax for multi occurrence date 
structures. Then you'd also have to add qualified names.
Something like this:

  C                if        myDs(1) = MyDs(2)
  C      ... do whatever...
  C               endif

For qualified names in multi occurrence DS:

 C            eval       myDs(3).CustNo = myDs(x+2).CustNo

Of course, this means, that the following would now be valid in RPG IV:

C             if            CustInfo.CustNo = PrevInfo.CustNo

Hence, qualified names, and duplicate subfield names (as long as they're in 
different DS) are valid.
