Hi Glenn,

Only way to get the long names to work (from my test) was to give those long names a definition. I also tried freeform (I know you're on v6.1, but I wasn't sure if you could PTF the freeform back or not), but I'm definitely no pro in fully freeform RPG code yet. I was having issues getting the overChargesLevel1 & 2 lines to autodefine.

Since I don't have the files the fields are based on, I just gave them an arbitrary definition.
dcl-ds overChargesMultiMeter;
overChargesLevel1;
y1vrp1 Length(5) Overlay(overchargesLevel1);
y2vrp1 Length(5) Overlay(overchargesLevel1: *next);

Hi Kurt, you don't have to specify data-type information for free-form subfields if the subfield's definition comes from a file.

dcl-ds overChargesMultiMeter;
overChargesLevel1;
y1vrp1 Overlay(overchargesLevel1);
y2vrp1 Overlay(overchargesLevel1: *next);
