CPF7E56 - Identifier is ambiguous

To all,

Why does the IBM debugger give this message for a non-qualified field
(Identifier is ambiguous)?

The field VITEMID is defined in three files.
FVNDRCOST  IP   E           K DISK
FVNDRMASTERIF   E           K DISK    PREFIX(VM)  
FVNDRITEM  IF   E           K DISK    PREFIX('VI.')

Here's the definition for making one field qualified.
D VI            E DS                  EXTNAME(VNDRITEM) QUALIFIED

I try to view the contents of field VITEMID from VNDRCOST (not qualified nor
prefixed).

How do I tell the debugger to view this field without making modifications
to the program to only prefix without the dot (.)?

Thank you,
Matt Tyler

Dennis,

     %char is a BIF (built in function) in RPG.  Thanks to everyone for
their resolutions.  I also found it in the midrange FAQ.

Hi, Eric:

Is that RPG?  I don't know the %CHAR function, but if it's RPG, you can
simply MOVE the numeric field to a 2-byte character field, producing the
results you named.

I am trying to convert a numeric field (2,0) to character using %char.  If
the number is 01, the returned character is '1'.  Any ideas on how to get
the returned character to '01'?
