RE: Reading/Chaining into a DS, and RNF0202

Ok, in *that* case, I would probably do something like:

  fCusMast111if   e             disk    Prefix( a )
  fCusMast222o    e             disk    Prefix( b )
  d dsRec111      e ds                  ExtName( CusMast111 ) Prefix( a )
  d dsRec222      e ds                  ExtName( CusMast222 ) Prefix( b )
  c                   read      CusMast111
  c                   Eval      dsRec222 = dsRec111
  c                   Write     @CusMast2

Note that I haven't followed this thread extensively, so I don't know if
this was already discussed; it looked from the subject like there was a
problem with trying to read or chain and place the record into a DS.  There
may be other ways to skin this cat.
