Tommy,

While this certainly a valid concern, would it be so difficult to provide 
both a backward compatible version *and* a useful version?  The only use I 
get out of the existing copybooks is to copy them into my own copy member, 
qualify the DS, and give the fields names that don't make my code next to 
illegible.

It might also be nice if the API documentation explicitly mentioned the 
file name of the corresponding copy member.

Chances are this will not change anytime soon.  You have to remember
there are lots of folks who still aren't at a sufficient OS level to
support qualified DS....

No, their technique is still the pits.  I would have preferred 
qualified 
data structures.
