Forgive the cute answer. Try it out and check the compiler listing? (Then you'll always remember in future.)

I have searched the archives and the RPG reference and can't find the direct answer to this.

Will this work?

Does the DIM() follow are does it need to be specified as a parameter keyword?

DCL-DS ABCDS DIM(100) ;
   ABC PACKED(3) ;
   XYZ CHAR(3) ;
END-DS

DCL-PI GETARRAY ;
   oABCXYZ LIKED( ABCDS ) ;
END-PI ;
