I know.. this project I was working though I got to use nested DSs for the
first time... I fell in love.

Sorry for the out of context comment... I won't mention that I was using
ILEditor as well and really liked it.. ooopss just did.

Don't need **Free for nested DS though Brad. Just free-form DCLs.

Yep, that was it.. I needed **FREE in the all free /copy member.

Thanks. I did try things out, but it didn't quite work.. it didn't seem
to recognize **FREE, but your explanation makes sense.

I did find, however, that it also works just fine starting in position
5/6/7 (like "old" RPG) with mixed /free non-free /copys. Of course the
/free copys also started in position 6. Maybe they need *FREE too to
start
in position 1

I'm going to mess around some more to see if I can get it working with
*FREE (this is on V7R3 with second to last TR I believe, compiling to
V7R2).

The basic rule for **Free is that each and every source member has its
own format.

So - if a **Free includes a /Copy the copy source is assumed to be
semi-free (i.e. NOT starting in position 1) _unless_ it too starts with
**Free.

So the example you used will work just fine Brad.

I have't tried this yet, but lets say you're using a 3rd party
package
with fixed format declarations in a /copy member.

You're trying to keep things mostly free format... will this work? I
haven't tried to dug into it too much yet... Just curious.

**FREE
/copy qcopysrc,imports <---- this is fixed format
dcl-s user char(256) INZ('demo123');
dcl-s password char(256) INZ('demo123');

From the docs:

- When you code **FREE in line 1, the entire source member may only
contain free-form code. If you need any fixed-form statements, such
as a
TAG statement, or I specs, you can put them in a /COPY file.


Does this mean it "should" work with fixed format /copy members?
