Specifically I have a portion of the outer data structure that I need to
pass to a procedure as a parameter that is defined with LikeDS. I just
create a procedure that takes the outer data structure and returns the
sub data structure that I need. And wait impatiently for V5R2. :(

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)
