Re: check for record changed between read/chain(n) and update

Gene,

Because mstrDS doesn't have a prefix specified, its fields have exactly the
same names as the file fields, so it's automatically loaded when the file is
read. It's the system I still use instead of using the 'new' LIKEREC keyword
(because I compile back to V5R1).
