RE: Compiler directive

All data structures declared with LIKEDS are implicitly qualified -- you can't
not have a qualified data structure.

Bob,

How do you gain the ability to use qualified names with this technique? Your
myAPIErrorDS structure is a LIKEDS of QUSEC_T which is itself a LIKEDS of
QUSEC. If QUSEC isn't qualified (unless you've changed the QSYSINC
copybook), then neither is QUSEC_T, so neither is myAPIErrorDS... That's
what I'm confused about.

I'm not sure why you didn't simply explicitly define the QUSEC_T structure
with subfields - what do you gain by making it a LIKEDS of IBM's QUSEC?

Rory,
My goal was to avoid multiple /COPY's of QUSEC. IBM's members do not have
compiler directives that avoid duplication if they are copied in more than
once. What I did was create a new structure using QUSEC. That new
structure
QUSEC_T is a template that I will then use in my own code instead of QUSEC
via the LIKEDS keyword. I don't know why you think I loose qualified names
using this technique, I actually gain the ability to use qualified names
through this technique.
