Francois,

That is not real DS support.

1) That method brings in the individual fields, but you can't use it as a DS. IOW, CHGVAR &yourExtDS &yourExtDS1 will not work.

2) It takes up a DCLF slot, which is undesirable.

David,

There is already Data Structure support in a CLP/CLLE with DCLF FILE(yourExtDS) // All DSs should be externally defined, but that's another debate...

What is missing is the possibility to IMPORT(myExportedDS) parameter on the DCLF to have the fields initialized with the values of the exported DS

I think an RFE would be good, not sure it would be prioritized, but if
you get lots of votes from all your relatives and everyone in your
hometown... :)

I logged an RFE for CL data structure support.
