In this case, it'll generate input specs that read directly into your DS, since the input specs will read fields name FILENAMEDS.CUSTNO and FILENAMEDS.NAME instead of simply CUSTNO and NAME. (For example, again)


It would run into the 14-character limit on the input spec names. "FILENAMEDS." is 11 characters, so you'd be limited to 3 characters for the subfield names. (But it's an easy problem to solve: use something short like FDS as the name of the data structure.)
