DEFINE /LIKE

        [SIC\]DEFINE Type Var1 [Var2 [...]] /LIKE VarLike
        [SIC\]DEFINE IMAGE Var1 File1 Key1 [...]] /LIKE VarLike
        [SIC\]DEFINE STRUCTURE Struct1 [Struct2 [...]] /LIKE StructLike

    The  /LIKE option allows definition of Type REAL, LOGICAL, DOUBLE or IN-
    TEGER arrays with dimensions identical to those of the  (existing)  Var-
    Like  array.  IMAGEs and TABLEs can also be defined in this way. The di-
    mension field must not be specified in such a case. /LIKE  can  also  be
    used in structures context: the new structure will be filled with a tree
    identical to the StructLike one.

    The /LIKE option is incompatible with DEFINE FUNCTION,  DEFINE  COMMAND,
    as well as DEFINE HEADER and DEFINE FITS.
