Re: rename one field in a ext. data structure in RPG-IV?

Interesting method of trying to use one trigger program to service three 
different files.  Don't know as if I would have done it that way. Probably 
would have had three trigger programs.

Yeah, I know that was a bit fuzzy.  Perhaps if I'd included the source 
snippet, with
the ExtFld's now included per Larry's post (not to scale):

    * Data structures to receive file record data from journal:
   d dsPayrollFile e ds         ExtName( PRJE01 ) 
   d   dsS_#$FSTS  e              ExtFld( #$FSTS )
   d dsCountyFile  e ds         ExtName( PRJE50 ) 
   d   dsF_#$FSTS  e              ExtFld( #$FSTS )
   d dsRegInfoFile e ds         ExtName( PRJE60 ) 
   d   dsR_#$FSTS  e              ExtFld( #$FSTS )
    *
    * Data structures to hold the before images to 
    *  compare to the after images:
   d b4PayrollFile e ds         ExtName( PRJE01 ) Prefix( b4_ )
   d   b4S_#$FSTS  e              ExtFld( #$FSTS )
   d b4CountyFile  e ds         ExtName( PRJE50 ) Prefix( b4_ )
   d   b4F_#$FSTS  e              ExtFld( #$FSTS )
   d b4RegInfoFile e ds         ExtName( PRJE60 ) Prefix( b4_ )
   d   b4R_#$FSTS  e              ExtFld( #$FSTS )

As you can see, #$FSTS is defined in all three files.  Besides the #$FSTS 
field, all
the fields in these three files use a file-specific 2-character prefix.  I 
did not
want to further differentiate my prefix on the 'b4' images, and did not 
want to add
a prefix to the first three DS's.
