RE: Qualified DS overlapping with other fields?

No.

The qualified keyword (implied by LIKEDS) means DS1.SF1 is completely
different than DS2.SF1.


You could even have the following

d DS1           ds              qualified
d  sf1                  10a     

d DS2           ds              qualified
d  sf1                   3s 0


the two sf1 fields are different areas of memory.
