Re: Problem with non QUALIFIED DS

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First option - including DS definitions in a proto member s not a  
terribly good idea unless you are going to incorporate compiler  
directives. So you could add:

 /If not defined (MyDS)
D MyDS       E DS     extname( myfile)
 /Define (MyDS)
 /EndIf

Sysntax may not be right but you'll get the picture.  Include this in  
all protos that include the MyDS definition. This ensures you will  
only get it copied once. You could also replace the definition of MyDS  
with a /COPY of the MyDS details.

Second option - Use the PREFIX keyword on the MyDS definition to give  
each copy a unique name.

It all depends on whether you want/need multiple copies of MyDS.
