Here's another choice.  In the DDS for the logicals, don't mention the
fields at all, just use the same format name as in the Physical file.  Then
in the programs, rename the formats.  In that case of course you need to be
sure which format you just read. I also use an Externally Described Data
Structure to keep the values saved for undo, etc.

Subject: Renaming fields
Hi all
Could someone help me with renaming all the fields in a particular file.
I have a file Name of PRDMCHM and a Logical File PRDMCHL3.
I would like to rename all the fields in PRDMCHL3 because all the
fields have the same name as in PRDMCHM ( which is obviously
what the Logical file based on.) Could someone give me an example
of how you would do this. I'm not sure if I could do it in the F specs or
should I do it in the D specs. I'm using RPGIV v5r1. All responses will
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
