Message type . . . . . :
Diagnostic


Message . . . . :   The external name contains a period and must be
renamed.
Cause . . . . . :   An external record name or field name contains a
period
 (.). This is not allowed, so the name must be renamed. The name is
ignored.
Recovery  . . .
:
   -- If it is a record format name, specify the RENAME keyword on the
File
 specification, or specify the IGNORE or INCLUDE keyword so the record
format
 is not
used.
   -- If it is a field name, rename the field in the Input
specification.
   -- If it is a subfield name in an externally-described data
structure,
 rename the field using the EXTFLD keyword in the Definition
specification.
 Compile
again.
