I am a bilingual programmer (COBOL and RPG) modifying some COBOL programs in a mixed-language shop. Because of recent employee turnover, the only COBOL programmers available to me are new to the shop and have more mainframe than iSeries experience. My last shot at large COBOL programs was five years ago on an iSeries although I have the program listings as PDFs that I carry with me on a USB drive. From what I wrote then and from what I am working with today, I have some basic questions.
How important is it to have a field referred to as "Unique-Field-Name In My-File-Format" rather than just "Unique-Field-Name"? In my program examples, I have the IN replaced by an OF... "Unique-Field-Name Of My-File-Format". As I recall, I had to name some of the formats, but not others, to get my fields to populate... some screen output, some report output.
As far as I have seen, I do not have two identical field names in my program.
What is my best course of action?
Thanks,
