Re: Add flattened subfields after likeds

Yes, creating a separate /COPY source member would be a solution. The
whole point is to simplify the source, and I'm not sure this would
accomplish that very well, but it would work.

Just a WAG but, What happens if you define your basic DS in a /COPY source
member? Just add the additional fields after it...

There have been quite a few times I've defined a data structure, and then
wanted to define another data structure like the first one but with a few
additional fields. I know how to do this, but it creates qualified
hierarchy, and the SQL precompiler doesn't like all of that. So, for
example, I'd like to do something like the following, where I could
reference the fields as TestDS.ZZ1 and TestDS.ZZ2. Am I missing a way to
do this? I haven't found it yet.

D ZZ1 1
