Hi all,

I've been experimenting again (groan),

I've created a PF using the alias keyword...ie FIELD1
ALIAS(CUSTOMER_NUM).
This compiles OK

Then I created a small RPGLE pgm to access this field,
in the RPGLE pgm I`ve attempted to access the field CUSTOMER_NUM.

The program fails to compile with an error saying undefined field
CUSTOMER_NUM.
I thought the whole point of ALIAS was to enable you to redefine fields with
useful names...
obviously I`ve misunderstood the usage of ALIAS.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance


Colin Thorpe.
