Can someone please point out what is wrong with the following?  

I converted a PowerHouse version 5.06 C schema with QSHOW and got the
converted source file.  When I input this to PDL 7.09 E, the following
'link to' errors are reported.  Here is a portion of the schema source 

File LOTDB1
  Organization Database
  Open LOTDB1

<<<<a master dataset description deleted here>>>>

  Record LPM
  Capacity 251

  Organization AUTOMATIC
    Item LPM-PART
      Datatype CHARACTER         Size    26

    Index LPM-PART
      Segment LPM-PART
        Datatype CHARACTER         Size   26

<<<<<several other automatic dataset record structures deleted here>>>>
<<<<<LOM was not among them>>>>

  Record ATC
  Capacity 250

  Organization DETAIL
    Item ATC-ATTR-ID
      Datatype CHARACTER         Size    22
    Item ATC-PART
      Datatype CHARACTER         Size    26
    Item ATC-LOT-NUM
      Datatype CHARACTER         Size    22
    Item ATC-ATTR-VALUE
      Datatype CHARACTER         Size    30
    Item ATC-MOD-DATE
      Datatype CHARACTER         Size     8
    Item ATX-NEXT-ATTR-ID
      Datatype CHARACTER         Size    22
    Item ATX-NEXT-DTYPE
      Datatype CHARACTER         Size     4
    Index ATC-PART                        Repeating
      links to LPM
* The LINKS TO record has not been previously declared for this data
      Segment ATC-PART
        Datatype CHARACTER         Size   26
    Index ATC-LOT-NUM                     Repeating Primary
      links to LOM
* The LINKS TO record has not been previously declared for this data
    Index LPM-PART
      Segment LPM-PART
        Datatype CHARACTER         Size   26


That the 'links to LOM' is rejected makes sense since LOM is not defined,
but why is the 'links to LPM' rejected?  LPM, an automatic is fully
defined.
Thank you.
