Use the prefix keyword:
fd WH800W.
01 MSTrecd.
copy ddr-WH800MST of WH800W
prefix by 'MST-'.

Can anyone share a good method of using both a PF and an associated LF in the same COBOL program?
I have tried simply defining the two files, and see all sorts of errors due to duplicate names.
I also tried COPY ... REPLACING the record format with another record format name, and that brought on even more errors.
Thanks in advance!
