Barbara,

names of the lookahead fields would have to be different.  At least for

But there could be reasonable alternatives, like the syntax for renaming
fields in externally described files.  IE, place the name of the desired
look-ahead field to the left, and the name of the field for the contents
from the next record in the normal field name columns.

Granted, look-ahead fields aren't useful in very many scenarios so it isn't
a great loss.  Just one of those quirks you can run into while trying to
convert RPG II code.
