This technique probably would not provide Kerwin with a viable solution. If this variable is needed in both DS's then conditioning it would change the layout of the DS, when both DS's are /COPY'ed!! It would compile, but would not give the expected result.

Your memory is pretty good Joe,

This would need to be put in each copy module and once the first
definition is processed the conditioning variable will be defined so the
second occurrence will be skipped.

Typically with a duplicate definition you can use a /DEFINE and /IF NOT
DEFINED to prevent the duplication.

I'm writing from memory here, but it would be something like this:

/IF NOT DEFINED(MYVAR_DEFINED)
/DEFINE MYVAR_DEFINED
dcl-s MyVar char(10);
/ENDIF

This is the free-format version, but the same idea applies to
fixed-format.

I have a program that has a /copy to include definitions for a bunch of
data structures and fields.
I need to include another /copy to include some other definitions for
another function.
Both of these /copy have a field defined. They are defined the same
char(10).
When I compile I get 'RNF3316 The item has already been defined on a
Definition Specification; specification is ignored.'
But if you look at the listing 'Compilation stopped. Severity 30 errors
found in program.'
I looked at changing the GENLVL on the compile option but 20 is as high
as you can go.
I cannot change the either /copy easily.

Do you know of any ways to get the program to compile?

Leaning towards changing one of the /copy files. Bummer.
