Does this work? I have not compiled it.

D ds
D overCharges...
D Level1
D y1vrP1 overlay(overChargesLevel1)

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for confirming.

Do you foresee a change that would allow a way to have a long name
and either not using the ... or a way for the next D line to end the
continuation?

Yours truly,

Glenn

Hi Glenn, what's happening here is that y1vrP1 is being used as the
last part of the continued name overChargesLevel1, even with the
blank line.
If you look in the cross reference, you'll see an entry for
OVERCHARGESLEVEL1Y1VRP1.

As Kurt says, you'd have to provide something in the fixed-form
entries for overChargesLevel1 to end the continued name. The only
thing you could do would be to code a length and data type, but that
defeats the whole purpose of defining overChargesLevel1 by its overlays.
