Well, I can understand INZ not being allowed.

Since there's no memory space for a based structure, it'd be kind of hard for 
it to be initialized.

Granted, you could have the based-on pointer assigned at compile time, so in 
that instance there is space assigned.  But more likely, no space is addressed 
until run-time.  How could the compiler code to initialize the DS?

As I think about it, perhaps RESET has a similar limitation.  Since RESET 
resets a available to it's INITIAL state and a based variable doesn't really 
have a initial state...RESET doesn't work.

CLEAR should work though as it sets the variable to blanks/zeros.

That being said, I have often wished for a way to use INZ and RESET with a 
based structure.

Perhaps a DEFAULT keyword along with CLEAR resetting to DEFAULT.

That would allow me to define a template like structure with fixed fields.

HTH,

Charles Wilt
