hdiag like(hdiag1);
hdiagpoa like(hdiag1poa);
end-ds;
end-ds;

when compiling, I get:
RNF3523: External description SET_DIAG for data structure is not found; data structure is ignored.

This looks like the compiler bug for APAR SE70115, related to nested data structures in externally-described data structures.

For 7.3, you need compiler PTF SI69572. (The 7.2 PTF is SI69571.)
