RE: Free form read into a data structure

Here's what may be the problem:
(From the V5R3 RPG Reference)

READ{(EN)} name {data-structure}

"If name refers to an externally-described file or a record format from an
externally described file, the data structure must be a data structure
defined with EXTNAME(...:*INPUT) or LIKEREC(...:*INPUT)"

Subject: Free form read into a data structure


I am having trouble determining how to code the free form read into a data 
structure;

FIIM       IF   E             Disk    ExtFile('*LIBL/IIM')

D IIMDS         E DS                  ExtName(IIM)

      Read IIM IIMDS ;

compiler complains:
  *RNF0202 20        011500  THE RESULT DATA STRUCTURE IIMDS DOES NOT 
INCLUDE A SUBFIELD
                             IN POSITION 1 FOR RECORD IPI100IM.

I can't figure out what this it trying to tell me.  The data structure in 
the compiled listing includes all the fields in the record.  I know I must 
be missing something, but have not been able to find a good example in the 
manual or in the archives (could not figure out what to search on to get 
the right results).

Thanks
