Elonna,

Try the Prefix Keyword:
Some thing like this.


FOEHHSTWK  IP   E           K DISK    rename(oeordh:work) prefix(w_)
FOEHHST         IF   E           K DISK

The file OEHHSTWK's record will be renamed to work and all of the field
names will start with "w_"

Good Luck,

Mark

I am doing file conversions and have a problem.  I have two files with the
same name, same record name and same field names.  However, some of the
field definitions have changed, ie a 4b,0 field has become a 6A field.  I
can obviously change file naes with OVRDBF commands and rename record
names, but is there anyway that anyone knows of that will make this easier
than having to internally define one of the files to rename the fields to
map between the two files?  Some of the DDS files are short so internally
defining them would not be a problem, but some of them have DDSs that are 8
pages long, etc which for only having to change 2 or 3 fields seems like a
lot of wasted work to me.
