Try something like this, and make sure that you have "t" defined
in some other source file (you have it extern):

struct thing
    {
    int n;
    char *s;
    };

extern struct thing t;

main()
{
t.n = 10;
t.s = "hello";
}

Your problem was defining the structure after the reference.  Some compliers
may allow this, SAS does not seem to.
