There is a PREFIX keyword that allows you to do this.

FCUSTMAST   UF      E      DISK   PREFIX('XYZ' : 3)

Where 'XYZ' is the case-sensitive prefix you want to add to every field in the
CUSTMAST file, and the number 3 represents the number of existing characters
(existing prefix characters) you want to remove from the field name before
adding your own prefix. If you don't want to remove leading characters from the
field name before adding your own prefix, then do not specify a second parameter
on the PREFIX keyword.
