RE: rename one field in a ext. data structure in RPG-IV?

If I understand what you need, I believe you want the EXTFLD keyword as
follows:

D WORKDS        E DS                  EXTNAME(WKFILE01) 
D   FLD_HERE    E                     EXTFLD(FLD_ON_FIL)

The external file definition for field FLD_ON_FIL within file WKFILE01 is
known to this program as FLD_HERE.

Good luck.

Subject: rename one field in a ext. data structure in RPG-IV?


Is there a way to rename one field in an externally-described data structure
in
RPG-IV (v5r1)?  I am already using Prefix to distinguish between multiple
DS's using
the same external definition, but there are common fields defined with the
same name
in different external definitions, and I have three DS's for three different
external definitions that have a common field defined in each.

Better yet, if there's a way to tell the compiler to ignore a certain field
in the
DS, that would work too, since I'm not using the field in question.

TIA, GA
