No, the DS was built to actually contain an entire record image, i.e. 
LIKEREC(format : *input). I EVAL the values into the key fields of the 
format, then CHAIN to the format, and place the results in the DS, i.e. 
CHAIN (DS.fielda : DS.fieldb) format DS

I goofed and placed the key fields in the wrong order, and one was 5P 0, one 
was 7P 0
