Re: PREFIX and display files

Good Morning.

In order to use a DS for a record format in a file, you do not need to use
the PREFIX keyword (it won't hurt, but is not needed). Also, on your D-spec,
use the name of the format, not the filename. If you have several formats,
you can create a DS for each one.
