READ with DS as result

Hi,

I only just discovered I could put a DS in the result of a CHAIN or READ operation.

I declared my DS with LIKEREC(name of format).


Can someone please explain this :

1. CHAIN CLT_Number CLIENT;
2. CHAIN CLT_Number CLIENT MyDS;

In 1, The zones of the file CLIENT are filled if the client is found, eg CLT_Name = "Smith".
In 2, I now have MyDS.CLT_Name = "Smith" but CLT_Name is no longer filled. Why is this?

TIA
