hmm. Thanks Brian.

It's possible I placed my alias override on the first instance of the
field instead of the second. I'll give it a whirl this morning and
see if that was the problem.

I've tried overriding the alias name using the ALIAS keyword, and it
tells me I'm using ALIAS twice on the same field.

Rick,

Using ALIAS keyword to override the referenced field's ALIAS works for me.
Here's a bit of working DSPF DDS:

A 6 65'Begin Date/Time:'
A F1BDAT R 6 82REFFLD(YMD)
A EDTCDE(Y)
A 7 65'End Date/Time:'
A F1EDAT R 7 82REFFLD(YMD)
A EDTCDE(Y)
A ALIAS(YMD1)
