You can define an array data structures, each of which contains an
array. You need to use dot notation to get at the data members, but it's
not hard to figure out.

t_inner   DS               Qualified
   element            5I 0 Dim(24) Inz
outer     DS               Qualified
   inner                   LikeDS(t_inner) Dim(3)

myValue = outer.inner(2).element(8)
