I know I have to drop the E, but do you see any use of the LIKEDS keyword? I know it's doing it because of LIKEREC, but say so please.

LIKEREC was simply intended as a shorthand for defining a data structure like an externally described data structure. Also, for data structures used as the Result-Field argument on record I/O, it provides a simple compile-time mechanism to ensure that the data structure matches the record.
