RE: Rename a field

Generally I avoid I specs....I just do this...

d                 ds                                       
d myfilefield                   10a                        
d renamedfield                  10a   Overlay(myfilefield) 

Not exactly a rename but you can reference the field by either name.... 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

If I understand the help text correctly, the ISPECS should work in
RPGLE.
If that's what you are doing.  Maybe I'm in left field.

I pressed F1 on the External field name and got this message.

Michael, I could not get a compile w/ that I Spec idea. I should have
mentioned that I code in ILE if at all possible.

 See other email about the ISPECS.
