The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

I am adding a file to a program and thought it would be great if I could define my file with the external fields defined with ALIAS data names. I was trying to avoid creating needless duplicate input specs and thought I could rely on the external definitions. That appears not to be working out for me.
Are the fields in an externally-described file good for anything inside my COBOL program? Will I end up having to create input specs and copy my format into those specs? Surely there must be an easier way.
I'd like to solve this one and turn in a completed program before my gig ends on Friday.
Thanks,
