Sensitivity:

To add to the discussion:

     D NumVar1         S              5S 2
     D NumVar3         S                   Like(NumVar1)
 
     C     *Like         Define    NumVar1       NumVar2
 

- NUMVAR2 will be P(5,2) - it always has been this way
- NUMVAR3 will be S(5,2)

So, if the data type IS important to you, use D-spec declarations - not 
DEFINE.
