In fixed format it was really easy to overlay data like this:

D ds
D RF94 1 84a Dim(14)
D RA0094 1 84a

I could easily eval a text string into RA0094 and "parse" the data
into (in this case) 14 six-character fields.
I need to use %lookup on RF94.


The following will allow you to set (eval) the data structure name
to your 84-character string and then do a %lookup on the array inside the
data structure.

dcl-ds RA0094;
RF94 Char(6) Dim(14);
end-ds
