Re: Same prefixes (was Re: It's That Time Again! etc.)

Peter,

Although I did in fact start this practice before the S/38 existed, why do
externally described files change whether it is a good idea?  The problem is
name collissions in RPG, and until qualified DS names that was true in all
flavors of RPG.

Qualified DS names makes for a more elegant solution, but how do external
definitions vs program described files weaken the argument for field name
prefixes?

Am I not seeing the forest for the trees?
