Starting in V5R2 you can do I/O to a record format without accessing any global fields by using a LIKEREC data structure in the result field. In V5R3, the rules are somewhat relaxed: you can use an externally-described DS and you can specify a result DS for I/O to an externally-described file name. The file and record name are still global, though. And the PSDS, INFDS, INDDS etc. also have to be global.
