Re: Free Format question

Hi Sharon,

Have you tried the PREFIX keyword on the F spec. This will prefix all of
your file's field names with the prefix you specify.

HTH.



Thanx,

Nick

Free Format question








Hello all, I must start by saying the vast knowledge of the people who
post here just astounds me, it really helps me stay in touch with the many
many ways RPG can be used and abused. Thanks for your involvement here.

My newbie question: I am trying to get the rust off my Free Format skills,
I work in LANSA mostly, I want to rename a field in free. I see in the
Redbooks how RENAME is used for the record format and then a Data
Structure is created with the new record format name and the new field
name listed there.

Is that the proper way to go or is there something more direct? Or just
list that section the old RPGIV way then go into my free code. I would
like to know the free way if possible.

Any input would be appreciated.
