Re: avoid to use the wrong fields

If you use PREFIX on the F-spec for the file(s) in question the non-qualified fields will not be generated and the compiler will error you if you try to use them. Would that help?

Hi

i'm tryng to use data structure, to store informations about
WRITE/UPDATE/CHAIN both for Data Base files and Display files; example
for DSPF i code Data structure for every record format like this:
D S01Ds Ds LikeRec(S01:*All) Inz Sfl
D C01Ds Ds LikeRec(C01:*All) Inz SflCtl


then i when i write or update the records S01 or C01 i use :
write S01 S01Ds;
or
ExFmt C01 C01Ds;

but with this tecnique, i have the problem that i have to remember to
prefix all my file's fields as, if I use "customer_code" instead of
"S01Ds.customer_code" the program is generated with success, but the
data is not (in this example) displayed in the screen. Is there any
tecnique to avoid this or i'm wrong in something ? do you use this
tecnique ?

Thanks in advance for you suggestion.
