Thank you, I just tried this... Do you know if these fields are
recognized,
by RPG programs, if I don't refer to them by name?
Meaning, if I have 3 PF's (tables) and I uses the same Alias in all 3
files, ie: (customer_number) will these 3 fields be qualified in RPG? If
I
use the prefix command? Or does RPG recognize alias's at all?
I trying to avoid accidentaly overwriting data...
Thanks, tim
