RE: DDS ALIAS keyword

Actually I prefer CUSTBAL$, but it looks like you are an RPG/400 shop and
not a RPGIV shop.  Or does the code that cool:2E generate become RPG/400.

Buck,

I know this doesn't specifically address your question, but this is one of
the reasons why I have always preferred to rename Cool:2E (aka Synon) field
names right after creating them.  Some see this as an unproductive
excercise, but how many times have you had to look at the source or debug a
Cool:2E generated program and wished that the "Customer Balance" field
named CSABVA had been named CSBAL$ instead?

It is wonderful that while working with Cool:2E that the field is always
referred to as "Customer Balance" rather than some cryptic 6-byte name.
But outside of Cool:2E these cryptic names are worked with every day.
