The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

We have a file layout (industry standard) and certain positions have different meanings for different types of data. I was hoping to be able to create the basic DS as a template, and the fields that can be changed would have a generic fieldname - then when I create the DS defined like the template, I would overlay the subfields based on the data being processed (i.e. based on the subprocedure). However the WDSCi Verifier doesn't like it (so I presume the compiler would have issue as well).
For example:
D ds_CGR DS LikeDS( dsTmpl_CGR_01 )
D Test 1p 0 Overlay( ds_Tmpl_CGR_01.Cat: 2 )
Has anyone else ever had need to either overlay or add a subfield after doing a LikeDS?
Or is it possible and I'm not doing something correctly here? I recall doing this sort of thing (well adding extra fields) at the end of a DS that used ExtName.
Thoughts?
