Re: using LikeDS on a subfield.

["Michael Naughton" <mnaughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe - Is your goal to use LikeDS, or do you just want a nested data
structure? If the latter, you can use pointers:

D ds01            ds                               
D  d101                          5                 
D  d102                          5                 
D  d103                          6                 
                                                   
D ds02            ds                  based(ptrXYZ)
D  d201                          3                 
D  d202                          3                 
                                                   
C                   eval      ptrXYZ = %addr(d103) 

(of course, you do still have to explicitly define subfield d103)
