True, but unless I'm mistaken in RPG you would then have allocated space 
for one more variable than you actually need.  I also use LIKE and just 
live with the fact that my "typedef" in my copy memeber occupies memory 
instead of simply instructing the compiler how to lay out certain data 
structures.
