Re: Question regarding uniqueness

You can ignore my last post (which was a different change). The change that
relates to this is in the '02 Standard, page 827 which states,

"67) Implicit qualification of data-names within the same group. Data-names
referenced in a data description entry need not be qualified when they are
defined in the same group as the subject of the entry, unless qualifiers are
needed to establish uniqueness within that group."

This compiles with big iron and MF.
Why?
Of course, this is a stupid definition.
Any attempt in the PROC div to reference any field
would lead to a compile failure.
OC throws this out at compile time.
