["Jon Paris" <Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Couple of points - first I don't _think_ it has any impact (although there
are some "hidden" features to the Overlay keyword) but there is zero point
in using the Overlay keyword in this DS.  So it should look like this:


     D keyFlds         DS
     D  key_house                     3
     D  key_itnbr                    15
     d  key_location                  7

Second point - the recommended way to do this (although I didn't think the
compiler enforced it) is to code the DS like so:

     D keyFlds         DS                  LikeRec(RecName: *Key)

This will bring in the exact key structure of the file.

PS.  I couldn't resist the temptation to insert a space between the D and
the start of the data name - just because we made a mistake in not leaving a
gap when designing RPG IV doesn't mean you have to perpetuate it <grin>
