Jay,--
You're assuming that the first fixed form example is the original. It
is not. That is Jon's example of how he would have done it in fixed form.
Let me show you in chronological order
Original poster:
D ebcdicDS ds
D charChannel 1 1a
D ebcdicChanel 1 1u 0
Jon's fixed form version:
D ebcdicDS DS
D charChannel 1a
D ebcdicChanel 3u Overlay(charChannel)
Jon's free format version:
Dcl-ds ebcdicDS;
charChannel char(1);
ebcdicChanel uns(3) Overlay(charChannel); End-ds;

Well most of us wouldn't have used from/to to begin with which is--
perhaps why you are not seeing examples.
If you had coded it this way:
D ebcdicDS DS
D charChannel 1a
D ebcdicChanel 3u Overlay(charChannel)
The conversions is now a bit more obvious i.e.
Dcl-ds ebcdicDS;
charChannel char(1);
ebcdicChanel uns(3) Overlay(charChannel); End-ds;
You know you have two spellings there for channel right?
Since you are in position 1 of the Ds you could also code both
fields as being Pos(1) - but there's no need.
