A little wrinkle here:
The compiler seems unhappy with the fact that I have the RENAME
File spec has:
FPMYFILE UF A E K DISK RENAME(FMYFILE:FILE01)
DFileNameDS E ds extname(FILE01)
Did you mean to use LIKEREC?
A data structure defined with EXTNAME has absolutely no relationship
with the F-spec. Instead, you tell EXTNAME the external name of a file,
and it looks for it on disk to get the fields. Since the argument for
EXTNAME is a FILE NAME (not a record format name) and it's looking
directly at the file (not at the F-spec) I wonder if you really meant to
use LIKEREC?
LIKEREC defines a structure to be like a record format that you've
defined on an F-spec. So you could say
DFileNameDs ds likerec(FILE01:*input)
And that would work, because it's argument is the RECORD FORMAT NAME
(which is what you renamed) and it's looking at your F-spec rather than
directly looking at the file.
