If I have an incoming field defined in the PI, I thought I could
have it
also defined in a DS in order to split it up without doing any %subst.
It's not compiling due to "The Name entry is already defined on a
Definition Specification".
What am I doing wrong?
You're not accepting that the compiler is correct.
You have never been able to use a DS sub-field as a parameter (even
on a program call). You can use the DS itself--just not the sub-fields.
Open your heart to the compiler, accept it's truth, use a different
name for one of the variables, and copy the input parameter to the
sub-field prior to processing.
