There is also another difference where some variations of EXTNAME can't be used with SQL.

For example this:

Dcl-ds RsInput Extname('FILENAME':*INPUT) Qualified End-Ds;

Exec sql Fetch testCursor into :RsInput;

Generates an SQL0312: Position 40 Variable RsInput not defined or not usable.

But, I personally prefer Extname over Likerec because it doesn't require the file spec.
