That was rejected with an RNF7595, "The result data structure does not
include a subfield in position 1 . . . ."; I added a subfield starting
in position 1.

> D TESTREC DS
> D IGNORE 1 87

That didn't work, so I looked up the error message, and found that I had

to use a data structure derived from the file, so I tried:

> D TESTREC DS LIKEREC(REALREC)
> D BYTESOFINT 87 514

and it gave me TWO error messages (an RNF3703 and an RNF3602) on the
"BYTESOFINT" field.


I would use TESTREC and change BYTESOFINT to a standalone field
that is pointer based. Set the address of the pointer to the field from
TESTREC that starts at the same position as BYTESOFINT.
