I cannot find anywhere in the books where is says what types of files can be
used for the EXTNAME keyword. I have a *PRTF named WPRTCTL with
several formats, one of which is named DETAIL. I have the following D-specs
in my program:

       D PRTDS            E   DS
ExtName(WPRTCTL:DETAIL)
       D
Prefix(ds_)
       D
Occurs(500)
       D
Inz

I get the following message when I compile the program:

    *RNF3530     Data structure PRTDS has no valid subfields

Can you only use physical files for this? Any help will be appreciated.
