Reading to a DS

["Mike Silvers" <msilvers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK.  It is Friday -- finally.  I am having a problem with something that
should be simple!  What I am doing is reading a file into a DS.  I am
getting a compiler error that tells me that the data structure is not
allowed in the operation.  My code is as follows:

FPRJ001L5  IF   E           K Disk    ReName(PRJ001R:PRJ001R5)
F                                                         Prefix(L5:2)

D PRJ001R5DS    E DS                  ExtName(PRJ001L5)
D                                                          Prefix(D5:2)

 /Free

   ...

   read prj001R5 PRJ001R5DS;

   ...

 /End-Free

The error is:
*RNF7701 30    347 010500  Data structure PRJ001R5DS is not allowed for the
operation.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike
