o Unnamed fields are similar to FILLER fields in VAX COBOL. You can use them to format print records or to reserve space in a record for future additions. o In a STRUCTURE field, you can use any field attribute clauses allowed in an elementary field. However, if you use the DATATYPE field description statement, you cannot create subordinate fields that exceed the length of the structure field. o A STRUCTURE field cannot contain the VIRTUAL FIELD datatype. o Although the CDDL compiler accepts data type specifications for STRUCTURE fields, the feature can not be supported by the language or language processor you use with the CDD. Make sure the definitions you store in the dictionary are valid for the processor that will use them. o All fields, except BIT fields, begin on the first byte following the preceding field. BIT fields begin on the bit immediately following the preceding field. You can modify this starting position with the ALIGNED clause.
