RE: RNX1011 Error

I'm on v5r2.  The program would not compile when I used a filename, only
when I used a record format name.
Wait, you're saying that if I specify the filename on the LikeRec _then_
I can specify the filename on the Chain?   ... Although I thought you
could only specify a record format in LikeRec... So I'd specify ExtName
instead of LikeRec?  For some reason I thought I had to use LikeRec.

No, that is not a requirement.  You have to specify the filename on the
LikeRec keyword, but not on the actual option.  Filename works there
(except in those mysterious, behind the scenes situations mentioned
earlier).
