I do not think a DS in the result field on an I/O operation is required, as it works in a similar manner on older releases of OS/400 as well, even with RPG III and even when using PREFIX (in F- and D-specs). Define the file in the F-specs, define a DS with EXTNAME(samefile) on the D-Specs and Bob's your uncle, as some people would say. Perhaps adding a DS results is an enhancement, for readability purposes, but it actually added nothing new to the working of a programme, just my thoughts. It looks like it will only be possible in V5R2 which is given the wrong impression.
