Re: details on record Format Level Identifier

Dan,

You can give the LF a different record format name then the PFILE it is based 
upon. You can not use the FORMAT key word, however. 

You have to name each field in the LF again, that should be accessed with the 
LF. One advantage: if you use all the fields of the PF in that LF and later the 
PF gets expanded with extra fields, not to be used with that LF, you do not 
have to recompile the PGMs using that LF. (hopefully fully understandable this)

Carel Teijgeler
