I was using the RDi help. I thought that was supposed to update on--
the fly (not be based on the latest install of RDi). I guess not. I
now see the pdf with the updated help for Like.

Back to ExtName:
Another "interesting" (and by interesting I mean non-intuitive) aspect
of using a data structure using Extname is that it requires you to specify
'end-ds.' A DS definition using LikeRec doesn't require that, why would
ExtName? I'm sure there's some valid reason under the covers, but
above the covers I now have to be aware of when to put an end-ds and
when not to (when not specifying any subfields in the program).
Interesting that the error message tells me the end-ds is assumed, yet
is a level 20 compile error.
RNF0202: THE END-DS IS MISSING FOR A GROUP CONTAINING FREE-FORM;
END-DS IS ASSUMED.
Help for ExtName (in the new help document) makes no mention of
requiring end-ds. However a webpage I found on the new freeform does mention it:

You're right. I didn't think to look at the help for Like. Thoughjust did and didn't see anything about a supported second parameter.

Are you looking at the right manual?
By Googling, I found this:

which is good reading in itself, and which in turn has a link for the
full

Remember, this stuff was introduced *after* 7.1.
