What I finally tried was from the multi-format-logical example on page xxii of the V6 RPG Programmer's Guide, and page xxiv of the V6 RPG Reference:

D input ds qualified
> D rec1 likerec(rec2) overlay(input)
> D rec2 likerec(rec2) overlay(input)

or in my version:

> D TEST DS QUALIFIED
> D REALREC LIKERED(REALREC) OVERLAY(INPUT)
> D BOI 87 514
. . .
> C MYKEY CHAIN MYFILE TEST
> C TEST.BOI IFEQ DSBOI
. . .

and remarkably, it actually worked. Dave Clark's pointer-based solution would have been the next thing I was going to try.
