RE: Flat file, same field, different positions

>Could you possible base these structures using pointers?

Sure, but the individual names still collide.
d struc001        ds                  based(ptr001)   
d  fieldA                 1      5                    
d  fieldB                 6     10                    
d  fieldC                11     15                    
                                                      
d struc002        ds                  based(ptr002)   
d  fieldB                 1      5                    
d  fieldC                 6     10                    
d  fieldA                20     24                    

I'd like to be able to use FIELDA in all my structures because FIELDA
represents the same thing in each structure.
