I believe *NEXT means next.  when you use it, it becomes next.  So Part1
begins in column 10.  Is that what you wanted?

Subject: RE: DS / Overlay keyword
 
Alan,
 
Thanks for the suggestion, but that produced the same error as I had
before.  I'm not sure that it matters if the *Next is coded in the first
Overlay field or not.  Ever since I recently started using Overlay, I have
always put the *Next in all the fields.  A different example being: (which
has worked for me)
 
  D DSName          DS
  D   Field                      9A
  D   Part1                      3A   Overlay(Field: *Next)
  D   Part2                      3A   Overlay(Field: *Next)
  D   Part3                      3A   Overlay(Field: *Next)
 
But as Rob pointed out, I could put Overlay(DSName) on the FIELD
definition, instead of the Partx, and that will compile (although I
haven't tested it yet).
