Re: Add flattened subfields after likeds

[Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx>]

no good solution.  something like "baseDS" would be a nice feature:

     D TestDS          DS                  baseds(C1DS)
     D  ZZ1                           1
     D  ZZ2                           1

and then allow the derived data struct to be passed to a proc that expects
a parm that is likeds the based struct.
