RE: Field length needs to be different in logical from physical

First of all, if there is any way you can accomplish your goal without doing
this, then do so.  You will thank yourself later when the physical file
changes and noone remembers the logical file has to be changed also.

When you create the logical file, you must specify the physical file fields
in the DDS, though you don't have to replicate the definitions.  The
abbreviated ILNINV#A field must be defined using the SST keyword.

Hope that helps.

I have a PF with a field name of ILNINV#A which is 2 characters in length, 
however I need to trim it in my logical to just the FIRST 
CHARACTER
