Tom,

 You're missing the key on the READE:

   read(e) key patmst patient;

 -mark

Thanks for the correction Barbara.

But, I'm not sure I see the point....was this added before the LIKEREC keyword?

Yes, it was added in V5R1, before you could do I/O to externally-described files with a DS in the result field.

I have this sample code on a V5R2 system. Am I doing the "read" incorrectly?

 * Record format name=PATMSTR
fpatmst    if   e           k disk

dpatient        e ds                  extname(patmst) qualified
d                                     prefix('@')

 /free
   read(e) patmst patient;
   if not %error() and not %eof();
     dow not %eof();
       dsply patient.@page;
       read(e) patmst patient;
     enddo;
   endif;
   *inlr = *on;
 /end-free

The program is failing to compile with the following messages:

*RNF5155 20 16 000700 The Result-Field operand is not allowed for specified operation.
*RNF5155 20 20 001100 The Result-Field operand is not allowed for specified operation.
