Jon -
According to your statement below, I will not have a problem with this?
d ds5846 DS LikeRec( IDC5846 : *Output ) inz
// Redefine the 5 contiguous Allowance types
// in the F5846 record as array Hdr01AllowanceType
d Hdr01AllowanceType...
d s Like( ds5846.SY$TA1 )
d Dim( 5 )
d Based( PtrHdr01AllowanceType )
d PtrHdr01AllowanceType...
d s * inz(%Addr(ds5846.SY$TA1))
Regards,

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.
