Doug:

Though several replies tried to explain prefixing, yours addressed my actual 
confusion for this particular issue. (Yes, I've prefixed field names for some 
30 odd years going back to RPG -- yes, RPG,  on a S/360 -- though I tend not 
to, mostly agreeing with Rob's comments.)

It just seemed odd to go through the exercise of prefixing and then drop the 
prefix at runtime. The fact that you now must deal with existing field names in 
existing files clarifies.
