RE: C like Data Structure Definitions?

I see what you are trying to do now.  You want to define a data structure in
both the main program, global, and within a procedure, local.  Define the
dds and create a PF with no member.  Then use an external defined data
structure in both places.  If you need to change the data structure, change
the DDS and the PF.

d dsvtran       e ds                  extname(oeptran)
d                                     prefix(b_:1)
You can also use prefix and define multiple copies of the data structure
locally or globally

Not exactly the same as the C copy but you get the same results.  I even
works across multiple modules and programs.

Yes, but now they're global variables, which I don't want.

Both my program and my module could see the other's data.
