O specs only support "simple qualified names", names in the form DS.SUBF
or DS.ARR(x).  Anything with more than 2 dots, or with an array index
not at the end is a "complex qualified name".  The same is true of D
spec keywords, I specs and C spec factor 1, factor 2, and result.

The limitation is mainly due to compiler-development resource; it would
take a boatload of time to rejig the parsing of those entries to support
complex qualified names.

I'm sorry to hear that - it would be pretty handy to be able to use the 
complex names in D-spec keywords such as LIKE() and LIKEDS().  I suppose 
complex names in these contexts is not being demanded?  Perhaps this will 
change when people start using the XML functions of RPG at V5R4.

On a related note, how is demand for a certain complier feature or fix 
determined?  Is it mainly PMRs/DCRs?  Maybe I should learn how to make 
DCRs...

Thanks for the (as always) useful behind-the-scenes info,
Adam
