I have a field called OFFSET, in a file, that's defined as packed(5,0). And in an ADDT0100-type structure for a call to QtmmSendMail, in one of the programs that uses this file, I also have a field called OFFSET, defined as a 4-byte binary.

Remarkably, the thing compiles (and has, with this selfsame seeming name collision, for over a year).

Neither of the two fields gets accessed directly. Is that why the compiler isn't seeing the name collision?

I'm assuming that the reason a potentially polluted "offset to next address structure" field isn't blowing up QtmmSendMail is that there's never a "next address structure" to offset to.
