Re: simple problem with string handling

Given the current behavior of RPG strings in the context of data

In this instance, define a third data structure using LIKEDS, initialize it
and copy the contents of the "working" DS, and then compare the two copied
snapshots of the "working" data structure.

I think it might make a difference how you do the copy. If you're on
V5R4 or later, you can use EVAL-CORR, and I'm very confident that will
work. I'm not as sure about plain old EVAL (which is implied in
free-form). I would expect that EVAL just does a byte-for-byte copy
of the entire structure, which wouldn't help you. (I don't have
convenient access to an i right now to check myself.)
