Reference with type casting.

D    Invoice        7  0 Text('Invoice Number')


D    AAAINV    R    7    REFFLD(Invoice *SRC)



AAAINV is still and instance of Invoice however this particular instance is
Alpha.  And other capabilities like this.

Can you do a CREATE TABLE with fields referencing a definition in another
table?
