You didn't say what your kludgy work-around is. Maybe this is the same, but I would define the COMPARE data structure as externally-described.

DCOMPARE E DS EXTNAME(QCLSRC)

That gives the same data structure as this:

DCOMPARE DS
D SrcSeq
D SrcDat
D SrcDta

If you wanted the COMPARE and SAVE data structures to only have some of the fields in the file, or you wanted to change the order of the subfields in the data structure, then you could code like this:

DTypes E DS EXTNAME(QCLSRC) QUALIFIED TEMPLATE

DCOMPARE DS
D SrcSeq LIKE(Types.SrcSeq)
D SrcDta LIKE(Types.SrcDTa)

DSAVE DS
D Sv_SrcSeq LIKE(Types.SrcSeq)
D Sv_SrcDta LIKE(Types.SrcDTa)
