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

When reading through a keyed file which contains one long char field
(200A), is it possible to define a DS in such a way that when a
read/chain/reade . . .  is performed on the file the DS subfields are
implicitly updated ? Currently, I simply move the field into the DS and was
wondering if there was a way to implicitly do this (call me lazy).



Of course Name your Data Structure with the field name, or put the Field name on
top of the dtaara structure.
