RE: Implicit moving of data to DS subfields on chain/reade

Define the data structure externally on the file like so:

Dinrec          e ds                  extname(infile)     

You can just modify the data structure you're using now (no nasty typing,
I'm with you.)  You can do the same thing in RPG Classic.
