Bob,

My thinking is that it is not considered a character variable at the definition
level (i.e., what you'd see during debug) and that as such is inherently
excluded from opdesc support.  My understanding from prior years of asking for
full opdesc support for all field types is that this is outside of the control
of the compiler team.

My SWAG is that is also true of a DS name vs a true character variable.  If the
compiler were to lie and say the DS name was a character variable, would that
have other ramifications?  

I don't know.  I do know that over the years we've always been told opdesc
support only (currently) applies to character fields...
