i am looking to create a DEF which contains earlier DEFS, stored already in the DICT.

DEF
custname TYPE *.
custaccount TYPE custaccount.
custadrs TYPE adrsrec.
end.

where custadrs is really a RECORD used in a file.

so that the resulting DEF is in fact sort of nested.
This does not seem to work, and i am sure i misunderstand something.

What have i forgotten? (this time around...)

I do not think you can reference a RECORD as a DEF type. Your RECORD should be defined in terms of a DEF, and then reference that DEF in another DEF. Don't forget the ?DICT statement to open the existing dictionary.
