AW: Rename file field in RPGLE

Hi,

if you only want to rename 2 fields, you can use an external unqualified
data structure.
In the following example the fields MyFld1 and MyFld2 in MyFile1 get renamed
into RenFld11 and RenFld12. All other fields names stay unrenamed.
FMyFile1 if e k disk

D DSFile1 E DS Extname(MyFile1)
D RenFld11 E ExtFld(MyFld1)
D RenFld12 E ExtFld(MyFld2)


/Free
Read MyFile1F DSMyFile1;
Dsply RenFld11;
Dsply RenFld12;
*INLR = *On;
/End-Free

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Use PREFIX keyword

FFILE1 IF E K DISK
F PREFIX(F1)

You can replace n number of characters of your field by using PREFIX(F1:2)
this
mean fist 2 characters of the field names will be replaced by F1
