Re: data structure overlay question.

No Jon you can't,  from Code/400:
     d field1          s              1a
     d field2          s                   like(field1) based
(%addr(field1))
RNF3453E The parameter for keyword BASED is not valid; keyword is ignored.

 >> And why can't I code:

 >> D                                      dim(12)

Can't you do it this way? It has the same effect - even if a bit clumsy.

 D                       DS            based(%addr(qzamt1))
 D $QzAmt                              like(QZAMT1 ) dim(12)
