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!
