RE: PREFIX and display files

 >>> F PREFIX('SCRN')

You have received some good suggestions, but I thought I'd comment on the
specific question you asked.  There was nothing wrong per se with what you
did, but you forgot that PREFIX has been around a lot longer than QUALIFIED.
Prefix does a rename by PREFIXing the field name with the characters you
supply.  That doesn't make it qualified - UNLESS - you include a "." in the
name.  So this is how you need to code it to get it to work the way you
requested:

F PREFIX('SCRN.')

Now the fields from the fields are qualified.
