Thanks Barbara
I just confirmed what you put in your e-mail
I am still investigating the deletion of these files, but it may be an override is the way to go

As I see it, your problem is that, being on V5R4, you can't use a
EXTNAME(mylib/myfile) keyword, so when I suggested the idea of
including a F-spec, I was thinking about doing the following steps:
1) Include a F-Spec (input only/user open) indicating
EXTFILE(mylib/myfile). That way you can have the file format you need.
2) Create two (2) data structures (before and after), using the
LIKEREC keyword in your DS. Something like:
DRecBefore DS Likerec(FileFormat)
DRecAfter DS Likerec(FileFormat)
Luis, the library and file of EXTFILE('MYLIB/MYFILE') are only used at runtime. You would still need an override at compile time to have the required layouts for the Likerec data structures.
In 6.1, F spec EXTDESC('LIB/FILE') and D spec EXTNAME('LIB/FILE') removed the need for compile-time overrides. But in v5r4, you still need compile-time overrides.
