If you can guarantee that no one will ever change the file that will
make them become non contiguous:
D allowances s dim(5) based(allowances_p)
D like(allowance1)
D allowances_p s * inz(%addr(allowance1))
This is a very dangerous practice for reasons I have outlined here and elsewhere before. Even if the fields remain contiguous in the record, unless there is a DS based on that record defined there is NO guarantee that the compiler and/or optimizing translator will keep them that way. It might work today and then break tomorrow with a simple re-compile.
This article explain a technique that is guaranteed to always work.
