RE: Renaming fields in External Data Structures

Eric,

I copied this out of our program 'CLRCKS', which has external screen
formats in CLRCKSFM. CLRCKS04 is a screen definition. 

D InPut04       E DS                    ExtName(CLRCKSFM:CLRCKS04) Inz

D  C#04                          6S 0   Dim(48)

D                                       Overlay(Input04:3)


The check#s on the screen start at the 3rd 'input' character and are now
in array C#04.

Tim

I couldn't figure out how to do it...age is creeping up on me.  Could
you submit a sample.  I know it is only a few lines...
