RE: Qualified DS overlapping with other fields?

Hi Pascal,
Your answer is absolutely not!
They are to distinct data structures.
You can not access SF1 and SF2 anyway. A qualified data structure requires
that you use DS1.SF1 and DS1.SF2, the second DS would be DS2.SF1 and DS2.SF2


You no longer have access to just the simple subfield names, once you
qualify it, you may only access the subfields by qualifying them to their
parent data structure, hence the name "Qualified".

Subject: Qualified DS overlapping with other fields?

Hi,
 
I just discovered Qualified DS, and I was wondering about buffering of
those new type of DS.
 
Let's say I have DS1 which is a DS with subfields SF1 and SF2.
 
Then I define DS2 with keyword LIKEDS(DS1).
 
If I fill out subfields SF1 and SF2, are DS2 subfields filled with the
same data as DS1 instantly?
 
In other words are DS1 and DS2 using the same buffer?
 
Thanks
