RE: Two Questions.

Data structure, no, not exactly, but you can do either of these two
techniques and get the result you want.

D CustDS     DS                    ExtName(CustMast)
D myDS       DS
D   dummy                          Like(CustDS)

Or

D D1CustMast   S                  Like(CustDS)

You end up with a field (D1CUSTMAST) or a Data Structure (MYDS) with the
same length of the original database file named CUSTMAST.

In CL?  Nope.

Subject: Two Questions.

I have two Questions for RPG guru's.
 
a)  Is it possible in RPG to define a data structure length same as the
record length of an externally define physical file?. 
    I don't want to include the field names in my data structure. 
    e.g. (D1CustMast      DS                      ExtName(CustMast)  OR
D1CustMast     DS                 LikeRec(CustMast00) )
 
b)  Is it possible to define the length of a variable in CLLE same as the
record length of an externally define physical file?.
