* LIKEREC compiles, but won't allow QUALIFIED or PREFIX, therefore it's
not a private read and won't suit the purpose.

LIKEREC is implicitly qualified. It's always qualified. It can never not be qualified.

It can also be declared in the scope of a subprocedure, making it far more private than other methods.


Unless there's something I'm missing, it seems quite broken.

You're missing that it's implicitly qualified.
