LikeRec will make your data structure qualified. Off the top of my head
I'm not aware of other differences in the resulting data structure.

Subject: Defining datastructure with ExtName/LikeRec
Dear list,
I'm defining a datastructure and I want the layout of the datastructure
to be the same as an existing file.
Now I'm a bit puzzled. What do I use ? ExtName or Likerec ?
dsMyFile E DS ExtName(MyFile)
or
dsMyfFile DS LikeRec(MyFileR)
And what is the difference between ExtName and LikeRece ?
