Thanks to all who helped.

I did it with prefixes.

The easy way is to use Prefix on the program's F-spec e.g. Prefix
('QFDS.') and that will take care of the transfer of data from/to the
DS.

There are long names definable in DDS (ALIAS is the keyword I think
or something similar) but while they can be used in COBOL and SQL
they cannot be used in RPG. So even if you had found this keyword
and used long names in the DDS it wouldn't have helped.
