Jon,

I don't think the other examples had the QUALIFIED keyword in them.

Interesting - particularly since it is explicitly stated in the docs to
be unsupported - and I can remember that during development we were
asked to query users as to whether it would cause them a problem.  I
thought the converter even flagged it.

I tried your code with the V5R2 verifier (don't have access to a V5R2
system) and it compiles.  The following code (which is what I was
trying) fails with 'aconst' undefined.

     D DataStr2        DS                  Dim(5) Qualified
     D  aconst         C                   '1'
     D   Array2                       1    Dim(5)


     C                   Eval      DataStr2(3).Array2(2) = aconst;

Maybe you can check this with the compiler.
