I like Scott's idea of using a separate PF for a DS, but they really
cringe about adding additional objects for that purpose. I suppose I
could setup the CL to auto-create the PF, but that seems like more
overhead.

Working in the usual way of having separate libraries for database
objects and programming objects, I have found it useful to put some PFs
in the program library for situations like this. Similarly for files
referenced on OPNQRYF FORMAT(). (What's that I hear from the back row?
Twenty-first century? Nyah, I can't hear you.) Of course, I try hard
to make it obvious that these things may be "files", but they are not
containers for data; lack of a member is one such hint. My program
library also has files which are duplicated at runtime to QTEMP.

Do "they" also object to an arrangement like this?

Cheers,
Terry.
