Re: check for record changed between read/chain(n) and update

["Gene Burns" <burns.gene@xxxxxxxxx>]

Without a prefix on mstrDS the compile fails with *RNF3804 30 a      000001
Name CLCMYR in external description HCLMMAS is not renamed;

With a prefix specified on mstrDS the program compiles, but the data is not
loaded into the DS.

Does anyone know if this is a V5R2 problem or if there is a setting
somewhere to change this?
