Is your thinking that a data structure is fundementally different (on a
procedure call) from a character variable?
Does anybody have a V5R1 machine on which they can test a parm that is
defined with LIKEDS() and see if the opdesc thing works?

I was surprised by your earlier post, because I have used OPDESC for
lots of my service program routines for years and never had the error.
But this explains it, because I always pass character variables to them
-- not DS names.

I don't really expect a PTF.  All along the rules have been operational
descriptors are only available for character fields.  Last I knew, this
wasn't something Toronoto had any control over.
