I would go with Michael’s approach as the most efficient - except there is no need to define “string” as a field, simply name the DS itself as “string".

So my version would look like this:


D string DS
D array 1 Dim(37) Overlay(string)



You wouldn't even need the overlay, would you? I also have almost completely gotten away from H-. F- and D-specs. I much prefer using free-form declarations although they do present a challenge or two. :) I just figured out a new one: how to overlay arrays inside of externally described data structures (you know the ones - with lots of individual fields all in a row).

I'll be writing about that one. It was fun.
