I searched and couldn't find anything similar, so I submitted a new
RFE to add data structure support to CL (both internally and
externally defined).

While it is true that the CL/LE DCL STG(*DEFINED ) parameter allows the
creation of data-structure-like definitions, I agree that having explicit
data structure support would be *much* easier to use. Implied positioning
of subfields within the data structure and dot-syntax for qualifying data
structure subfield references would go a *long* way towards simplifying
the whole idea of consuming data structures in CL/LE.
