I don't know how to convert these old I specs

Hi all,

In this code MYFILE is to become externally described.

IMYFILE NS
I 2 23 FIELD1
I P 39 432FIELD2
I P 59 632FIELD3

MYFILE is a logical based on two physical files.

FIELD1 is in both PFs in the same position
FIELD2 is in PF1 only.
A 5 character field exists in both formats at position 59.


I want to rename the fields after declaring MYFILE as externally described.

I_________
I EXTFL1 FIELD1
I EXTFL2 FIELD2
I ______ FIELD3


What format name do I use? How do I know which is the external name for FIELD3?

Thanks.
