As far as I know the only way to do this is to have the base definition in a /Copy _or_ have the base as an externally described DS because unlike LikeDS you can add additional fields to this.

This idea of a BASEDds would be a nice feature.
Having such a feature in DDS would be nice, too.

Today, I am building an Audit File that will track an existing master file's updates.
All I am adding are fields like USER and TIMESTAMP, and because of this, I have to list all the Fields in DDS that are in the Master.
And when I am done, I will not have DSPDBR relationship between the Master File and the Audit File.
(The names are similar, but I cannot build a relationship known to the database between the two files.)

Re: Add flattened subfields after likeds

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.
