I'm having an issue creating arrarys over fields in a data structure. I
have something like the following, but the *next function doesn't work with
the arrays. They seem to get their own memory, rather than being overlaid
on the XWrkC* fields. I've seen lots of overlay examples, but I don't see
them specify the actual data structure name in the overlay *next command,
so I'm wondering if there is some restriction I haven't seen yet, where you
aren't supposed to overlay on the data structure itself, but only on the
subfields. In this case, the fields are actually display file fields, but
I've seen this behavior with independently declared fields as well.
