RE: move record format to a data structure

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's a fair question.  I do not know.  I don't understand what the 
qualified' keyword does.
 
In my experience, a field's value is based upon the last valid value placed
in the field, whether from a record, or from a Opcode, or from a screen. 
Therefore there is no need to fill the datastructure if the fields in the
data structure are the same field names as on the screen.  A read of the
screen will populate the data structure.

What I need is to save the current screen data to a data structure. 
 
>From your example, how does CurrentValues data structure get populated with
the data from the screen? If I understand the keyword "qualified" correctly,
the sub-fields in this data structure is not the same as the screen fields.
 
I'm not able to remove the qualified keyword because the field names of the
input file, in the program, have the same field names on the screen. There
is already a DS declared with the file name.

If I understand what you are trying to do, you can make another Data
structure (Or even a field) with the name:
 
D CurrentValues E DS extname(DSPFILE :DSPFILE01) qualified
D DSPFILE01Bef S Like(CurrentValues)
....
C Move CurrentValues DSPFILE01Bef

correction:
 
is there anyway to move a record format to a data structure without declare
a DS with the record format name? For example: display file name DSPFILE has
a record format of DSPFILE01. I want to be able to do the following:
 
FDSPFILE CF E WORKSTN 
 
D DSPFILE01Bef E DS extname(DSPFILE :DSPFILE01) qualified
 
 
C move DSPFILE01 DSPFILE01Bef
C . . . 
 
 
I get the following compile error:
*RNF7260 30 12159 951623 The Factor 2 operand DSPFILE01 is not valid for the
specified operation.
