There are two types of qualified names.
Simple and everything else.
Simple are single qualifications, such as MYDS.mySubfield
Simple names may be used on fixed-format or free-format syntax.
Nested data structures are a V5R2 thing and are required in order to use two
or more levels of qualifications.  Did the DS pass the syntax check in the
compiler?
If not, then maybe your TGTRLS is set to *PRV.

Subject: Qualified data structure use

O Brilliant Ones:

I am at V5R2 and can't seem to find much information about where one can
and/or cannot use a fully qualified data structure field, except from
compile errors.

The manual says: "Fully qualified names are allowed in any free-form
calculation specifications"

and
SvCYMD = TvRtrvOP.TvRecd.TvCYMD;     is okay 
 and
Test(DE) *YMD TvRecd.TvCYMD;   is okay

 but
Test(DE) *YMD TvRtrvOP.TvRecd.TvCYMD;
 and (stuck parenthesis around as a WAG for solution) 
Test(DE) *YMD (TvRtrvOP.TvRecd.TvCYMD);
Both give the compile error "RNF0623 - The qualified name is not specified
correctly."

First of all, I don't understand why one shouldn't be able to use them
anywhere they "fit".
Secondly, if one can use a qualified name in a situation, why not a "fully"
qualified name in the same situation?

Any direction to pertinent resources would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Tim Kredlo
